General diagram shapes

There are two general types here:

  • General diagram shapes with a typical basic shape, and
  • General concept diagram with a typical basic concept

This is not a general accepted classification of diagrams. It is made here to give an impression of the types of diagrams in the Wikimedia Commons at present.
