Le graphique "Semi-Log Plus-Moins" (...) a pour but d'enregistrer clairement les variations de trésorerie d'une entreprise. Celles-ci s'expriment par des écarts parfois considérables, d'un jour à l'autre, entre les soldes en banque qui, de débiteurs, peuvent devenir brusquement créditeurs. 2, record 1, French, - graphique%20lin%C3%A9aire%20plus%2Dmoins

The paired-bar, deviation-bar, and sliding-bar charts represent different forms of two-way or bilateral charts. In this type of chart the bars extend to the left and to the right of a common reference line or division. Bilateral-bar charts are well adapted to the presentation of positive and negative deviations from normal, increases and decreases, gains and losses, or the comparison of two contrasting attributes. 1, record 2, English, - bilateral%2Dbar%20chart
