> [!tldr] **Plot** is a generic term for [[Diagram Types (index)|diagrams]] that [[Maps|map]] information in a way that absolute position (and/or size) of visual elements is associated with their value. **Plots are for data.** Diagrams aren't *necessarily* for data. I consider plots distinct from the more generic term "diagram", although this distinction is squishy. Common plot types are: - [[Line Plot]] - [[Bar Chart]] - [[Scatter Chart]] - [[Histogram]] - [[Pie Chart]] & [[Sunburst Chart]] - [[Treemap]] - [[Pairwise Plot]] - [[Bubble Chart]] - **** # More ## Source ## Related - [[Diagram Types (index)]]
