Bilateral Graph

 

 

A bilateral graph is a graph with more than one variable and presented on two sides of a zero axis. The picture above is the average GDP growth by percent for some countries from 2009-2011. The axis on this graph begins at zero and as you see, some countries were negative and appeared below the line while the countries with positive growth were above the line.
