The use of graphics in demography is explored. The use of graphs to illustrate regularities and differences in mortality and age composition is first considered. Next their use in the investigation of regularities and differences in marital fertility and marriage is reviewed. Sections are also included on differentials in general and on computer graphics. The author concludes that graphs have played an important role both in the presentation or illustration of demographic data and in the discovery of new information through the process of pattern finding.
