- Multiple
- Component
Diagram comprises of equispaced and equiwidth rectangular bar for each class and category of data. They are suitable for frequency type and non-frequency type variables such as discreet variables like grades in exams and attributes such as gender, religion, etc that can be represented with the help of a bar diagram.

Component bar diagram
It shows the bar and its sub-divisions into 2 or more components. They present total value as parts of the bar, those components of the bar are shaded with colors.
Pie diagram
It is a circle whose area is proportionally divided among the components it represents. It is also known as a pie chart under these values are first expressed in percentage of the total values of all categories. For example, the distribution of the Indian population by their working status.
