What’s the english name for diagrams of this type?

A bar graph with really narrow bars?

(Are those vertical lines really necessary?)

In Danish they are called “stick” diagrams.

And they are not used that often. Only for ungrouped data.

Maybe “vertical line chart” or “vertical line graph”?

heh… bar chart, where bar width=1px :wink:

I think the nearest equivalent I can find is dotplot, but instead of plotting each individual dot to represent the count, it’s a stick. https://stattrek.com/statistics/charts/dot-plot.aspx?tutorial=AP

To me the stick diagram looks like it’s doing frequency counting?

I propose we adopt stick diagrams, it seems just as descriptive in English as it is in Danish

@abmclin Thanks for the term “dotplot”. Same purpose.

@sanchom I think we have a winner! Lot’s of “lollipop diagrams” in Google Images.

@soegaard2 It seems that in matlab and some others this is called a stem plot (https://matplotlib.org/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/stem_plot.html)

@bedeke Thanks. I knew about “stem and leaf” plots, but didn’t know about just “stem plot”. It makes sense though!

my favorite is lollipop plots, very cute
