General diagram types
- See also: Specific diagram types
General diagram types are diagrams with specific shapes and methodology present with multiple specific types in multiple fields of application.

General diagram shapes |
There are two general types here:
- General diagram shapes with a typical basic shape, and
- General concept diagram with a typical basic concept
This is not a general accepted classification of diagrams. It is made here to give an impression of the types of diagrams in the Wikimedia Commons at present.
