How to Create a Lollipop Chart
A step by step walkthrough for building a lollipop chart with stems, sized dots and a clean legend in PlotSet.
约 6 分钟You will end up with a chart where each category has a thin stem and a dot at its value.
Expect about six minutes. Most of it goes on choosing the sort order and the dot size.
你需要的数据
One row per category, with a numeric value and, if you want them, a size and a group.
The value column must be numeric. Rows with a non-numeric value are dropped.
A size column makes the area of each dot follow the number.
A group column colours the dots and builds the legend.
Rows that share a label are joined by one stem, from the lowest to the highest value.
操作步骤
PlotSet 中从空白模板到完成图表的具体点击路径。
- 01
Open the Lollipop Chart template
From the PlotSet dashboard, start a new project and choose Lollipop Chart from the Bar Charts category. It loads with three regions.
每份指南都从这里开始：先选分类，再选模板，不管你要做哪种图表，用的都是同一个网格。 - 02
Add your data
Import a CSV or .xlsx file, paste rows from a spreadsheet, or connect a Google Sheet. Each row is one category.
这里的数据视图取自一个条形图项目。你可以上传 CSV、用「Magic Import」从图片里提取数字，或同步 Google Sheet，每种图表类型的面板都一样。 - 03
Bind the columns
Choose the label column and the value column. Add a size column and a group column if you have them.
绑定决定哪一列作标签、哪一列提供数值、哪一列决定颜色。「Auto Binding」（自动绑定）会根据表头推测，所以要核对一遍，别想当然。 - 04
Choose orientation and order
In the Orientation tab, switch between horizontal and vertical and sort the categories from high to low.
Lollipop Chart 的「Preview」标签页。所有样式设置都在红框标出的这个面板里，每个设置各自占一个标签页：外观、标题、脚注，以及这种图表类型特有的选项。 - 05
Style the stems and dots
The Stems tab sets width, opacity and colour. The Dots tab sets the radius, outline and fade on hover.
- 06
Set labels and axes
The Labels tab shows category and value labels. The Value axis tab sets gridlines, ticks and the range.
- 07
Publish and embed
Publish for a live chart and copy the embed code from the Share dialog. Check the dots at the width of your page before you share it.
点「Share」，完成的图表就会变成一个公开链接和一段嵌入代码。
从已加载示例数据的 Lollipop Chart 模板开始，再替换成你自己的数据。
打开模板发布、嵌入或导出
最后一段路对每种图表都一样：「Share」（分享）把图表变成一个在线的公开链接和一段嵌入代码，「Export」（导出）把它输出成静态文件。
Share：公开链接与嵌入代码
打开嵌入代码和公开链接的开关，图表就发布出去了。链接可以放心发给任何人；嵌入代码以 iframe 的形式放进任意页面，悬停提示和交互效果都会保留。之后修改了图表，点「Recreate」就能把改动同步到链接和嵌入代码两边。
Export：SVG、PNG 或 JPG
「Export」会按你需要的尺寸输出一份静态副本。SVG 放到多大都清晰，还能在设计工具里继续编辑；幻灯片和文档用 PNG 或 JPG 最稳妥。想让图片在高分屏上够锐利，关键就是那个倍数设置。
Lollipop Chart 的样式提示
Sort the categories
A ranked order lets readers see the leaders at a glance.
Start at zero
A stem implies length, so keep the axis anchored at zero.
Size with care
Use dot size for a real second measure, not just decoration.
Switch off what you do not need
Hide value labels or gridlines if the dots already say enough.
制作 Lollipop Chart 时的常见错误
A row is missing
Its value is not a number. Remove thousands separators and text from the cell.
Every dot is a different colour
The group column is the same as the label column. Bind a real group or use a single colour.
The dots overlap
They are too large for the spacing. Lower the radius or the largest dot area.
The stems look doubled
Two rows share a label and are joined into one stem. Give each row its own label if that is not intended.

Lollipop Chart：常见问题
It draws a thin stem and a dot instead of a filled bar, so it looks lighter and shows small gaps more clearly.
