The term 'graph starter' refers to three different methods of producing a graph. Phono, Litho, and Tele are all five-letter words that refer to these methods. Phono is short for phonograph, which is a device used to record sound waves onto a medium such as wax or vinyl. Litho is short for lithography, which is a printing technique used to create images on a flat surface. Finally, Tele is short for television, which is a system of transmitting images and sound over a distance. All three of these methods can be used to produce a graph.
