A diagram type is a diagram with a specific shape and methodology, relatively independent of any field of application. Now there is no general accepted classification of diagrams. This gallery only gives an impression of the types of diagrams in the Commons at present.

[edit] General diagram types

Main gallery: General diagram types.

General diagram types are diagrams with specific shapes and methodology present with multiple specific types in multiple fields of application. There are two kinds of general types here:

[edit] General diagram shapes

Basic or general diagrams shapes here are diagrams with a typical basic shape.

Block diagram	Cycle diagram	Cluster diagram	Ladder diagram
Network diagram	Round diagram	Spiral diagram	Timeline
Tree diagram	Triangular diagram

[edit] General concept diagrams

Basic or general diagrams with a typical basic concept, present in multiple fields of application.

Activity diagram	Comparison diagram	Decision diagram	Explanatory diagram
Flow diagram	Phase diagram	Process diagram	State diagram
Timing diagram
