Meanings
-
A plan, drawing, sketch or outline to show the function or operation of something, or to show the relationships between the parts of a whole.
Electrical diagrams show device interconnections.
Drawings and pictures are more than mere ornaments in scientific discourse. Blackboard sketches, geological maps, diagrams of molecular structure, astronomical photographs, MRI images, the many varieties of statistical charts and graphs: These pictorial devices are indispensable tools for presenting evidence, for explaining a theory, for telling a story.

A graph or chart.
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
2010, Susan Schneider, Science Fiction and Philosophy:A common way to represent change in state over time is via a timing diagram.
1999, Bruce Powel Douglass, Doing Hard Time: Developing Real-time Systems with UML, Objects, Frameworks, and Patterns, page 520:We can then chart them over time and it results in that kind of a diagram.
2017, Sherman Wilcox, Ten Lectures on Cognitive Linguistics and the Unification of Spoken and Signed Languages, page 177:This powerful visual tool, known as the sawtooth diagram, is used to analyze inventory behavior over time.
2016, Stephen Cimorelli, Kanban for the Supply Chain, page 29:Various terms for this type of graph seem to be used interchangeably: 'scatter diagram', 'scatter graph' and 'scatter plot'.
2013, Caroline Rickard, Essential Primary Mathematics, page 215:
- 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".

(qualifier:crosswording) A crossword grid.
A crossword puzzle consists of a diagram that usually is rectangular and divided into blank (white) and cancelled (black, shaded, or crosshatched) squares.
2006 06, Willie Maartens, Mapping Reality: A Critical Perspective on Science and Religion, iUniverse, →ISBN, page 4:If you think of a completed crossword diagram as a house, short words with common letters are the necessary “mortar” that makes the longer, more interesting “brick” words in a puzzle possible.
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: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.
