Area Plot
Displays each column as the area it covers at in each row, with the values on y and the row number on x.
In a datasets with several columns the areas are layered in front of each other from the first column to the last.

Stacked Area Plot
Displays each column as the area it covers at in each row, with the values on y and the row number on x.
In a datasets with several columns the areas are stacked on top of each other, with the first column at the bottom.

Line Plot
Displays the content of each column at each row connected by a line.
In a datasets with several columns, several lines with different colors are used.

Pie Plot
Creates a pie diagram of the first column with one “slice” for each row. The size of the slice depends on the value in the row.
To create a pie plot in rgg the chart command with the additional parameter PIE_PLOT is used:

Scatter plot
Displays the content of each column at each row as a point, if the fields of a row hold more than one value (x and y) the points are plotted with the x values on the x axes and the y value on the y axes.
In a datasets with several columns, different colors are used.text/html2025-09-05T15:20:21+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)XY Plot

Histogram
GroIMP can create a histogram over a column of a dataset, to use this the histogram bins have to be defined.
It is possible to have histograms for multiple columns in the same plot in different colors.
To define the histogramBins the function setHistogramBins is used with the following arguments:text/html2025-09-05T15:20:21+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Statistical bar plot

Statistical bar plot
Displays the content of each column at each row as a vertical bar with an additional display for a statistical range .
In a datasets with several columns bars with different colors are added next to each other.
