# Lollipop charts Lollipop charts, also known as pin charts, are a variation of bar charts where a dot represents the data point and a segment connects it to the X-axis. It is often used to visualize data where the length of the bar is not as important as the value itself. Inforiver offers three variants of lollipop charts: Simple, Bar colored, and Marker colored which can be inserted in a single click. Furthermore, the following customization options are available in the Customise tab from the ribbon: (a) axis direction (b) reference line and band (c) comparison band (d) data label (e) fill pattern and more. {% embed url="" %} > ## **Related resources** > > #### User guide > > [Lollipop charts](https://docs.inforiver.com/working-with-inforiver/6.-working-with-charts/bar-and-pin-charts) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
