  2. A graph or chart.

    • 2010, Susan Schneider, Science Fiction and Philosophy:
      This particular diagram represents a dinosaur in the distant past and a person who is born in AD 2000. These objects stretch out horizontally in the graph because they last over time in reality, and time is the horizontal axis on the graph
    • 2013, Caroline Rickard, Essential Primary Mathematics, page 215:
      Various terms for this type of graph seem to be used interchangeably: 'scatter diagram', 'scatter graph' and 'scatter plot'.

  3. (category theory) A functor from an index category to another category. The objects and morphisms of the index category need not have any internal substance, but rather merely outline the connective structure of at least some part of the diagram's codomain. If the index category is J and the codomain is C, then the diagram is said to be "of type J in C".
  4. (crosswording) A crossword grid.
    • 1998 February 11, Michelle Arnot, Crossword Puzzles For Dummies, For Dummies, →ISBN:
      Because you have fewer 10- to 15-letter entries in the diagram, you can make judgment calls more quickly by testing out the long ones at the outset.
    • 2006 06, Willie Maartens, Mapping Reality: A Critical Perspective on Science and Religion, iUniverse, →ISBN, page 4:
      A crossword puzzle consists of a diagram that usually is rectangular and divided into blank (white) and cancelled (black, shaded, or crosshatched) squares.
    • 2019 January 15, Stanley Newman, The Beginner's Crossword Dictionary: Everything You Need to Know to Start Solving Crosswords with Confidence, Union Square & Co., →ISBN:
