A nomogram or nomograph is a graphical calculating device, a two-dimensional diagram designed to allow the approximate graphical computation of a function. Like a slide rule, it is a graphical analog computation device; and, like the slide rule, its accuracy is limited by the precision with which physical markings can be drawn, reproduced, viewed, and aligned. Most nomograms are used in applications where an approximate answer is appropriate and useful. ...

(Or alignment chart; also called nomograph, nomographic chart.) The graphical representation of an equation of three variables f(u, v, w) = 0, by means of three graphical scales (not necessarily straight), arranged in such a manner that any straight line, called an index line, cuts the scales in values of u, v, and w satisfying the equation. By introducing auxiliary variables and constructing auxiliary scales, equations containing more than three variables may also be represented by nomograms.
