A lollipop chart is essentially a bar chart with the bar replaced by a thin line and a circular marker (the “lollipop”) at the end. This design emphasizes the exact data value while keeping the graphic light and uncluttered. It’s perfect for showing comparisons between categories when precise numbers matter as much as visual impact.
Below is my example chart, which shows the popularity of different fruits based on randomly generated survey data.

Hello there,
ReplyDeleteYour lollipop graph looks very nice I like the data definitely see a lot of information. Some suggestions I would make is getting rid of the grid lines that way you see the lines of the graph clearer, and it would look cleaner. Also, the begin arrow type should be changed to the oval arrow to give more of a lollipop affect. Good Job.
