2. A bullet chart is a variation of Bar chart.
In this chart, we compare the value of one
measure with another measure in the context of
finding the variation in the first measure within a
range of variations in the second measure.
It is like two bars drawn upon one another to
indicate their individual values at the same
position in the graph.
It can be thought of as combining two graphs as
one to view a comparative result easily.

3. A bullet chart is an advanced sort of bar chart
where we can compare two measures on a single
bar.
In a bullet chart, the primary measure is shown by
the main dark bar on the front and the secondary
measure is shown beneath the main bar as a
reference line.

4. Bullet graphs are used to compare one value,
represented by a horizontal bar, to another value,
represented by a vertical line, and relate those to
qualitative ranges.
It compares sales performance for spices in
different regions this year to sales performance
last year.
The bullet graph features a single, primary
measure (for example, current year-to-date
revenue), compares that measure to one or more
other measures to enrich its meaning
(for example, compared to a target), and displays
it in the context of qualitative ranges of
performance, such as poor, satisfactory, and good.
