    Leonhard Euler is generally credited with the invention of graph theory with his publication of his paper "Seven Bridges of Königsberg" in 1736. Although graphs in one form or another had seen some (but limited) use for centuries before this, Euler's paper is regarded as the beginning of that branch of mathematics.

    Graph theory is very different from pie charts, bar charts etc.

    Leonhard Euler is credited with the first practical use of graph theory to solve the seven bridges problem.

    When talking about graphical representation of numbers such as bar charts and line charts, that creation is attributed to William Playfair
