A nomogram (from Greek νόμος nomos, "law" and γραμμή grammē, "line"), also called a nomograph, alignment chart or abaque, is a two-dimensional computational diagram designed to exert force (nonfiction) approximately equal to the graphical computation of a mathematical function (nonfiction).
It is a visual programming language based on the Gnomon algorithm.
