Lollipop Chart

Rather than using a bar graph, a lollipop chart uses a line and dot instead. Lollipop charts are used for comparing categories, showing trends over time, or ranking data. The dot represents the value, while the line anchors to the x-axis. In lollipop charts, more bars are displayed than in bar or column charts. It is possible to make the chart less overwhelming by using lollipops with thinner sticks and pointier heads. It is possible to use lollipop charts when the values are all high, such as over 75%. In contrast to wide bars or tall columns, a lollipop style can tone things down. In a bar chart, lollipop charts are useful when the bars have similar heights, resulting in a too colorful graph. A Lollipop chart can be a more appealing alternative. For more information on lollipop charts you can go to the cite here.
