Published as names rather than categories, because a reader with an unusual requirement is scanning for their one chart and a heading will not satisfy them. Several are variants that share a renderer — lollipop is a bar, spline and step are lines, histogram is a bar, bubble is a scatter — which is why the names here outnumber the type count.
