# What is this bar graph with subgroups called?

Notice that it has groups $(D_1, D_2, D_3)$ and each group has subgroups $(c_1, c_2, c_3)$. .

• I think people would call that a grouped bar chart/bar plot.

This is called a grouped bar chart.

There's a list of different types of bar charts here

R calls bar charts barplots, and the grouped version is obtained with beside=TRUE:
(example from code in R help on barplot)

Excel calls them clustered column charts (Excel uses bar chart to refer to the version with horizontal bars)

• Huh, @lennon310? The author asks what this is called. I answered it and told him. There was no need to obtain any clarification. it was one of the most straightforward questions asked on CV today. Simply because the answer isn't paragraphs long doesn't make it inappropriate. May 29, 2017 at 20:20

This is a particular case of what is called a small multiple. According to Wikipedia, it could also be called trellis chart, lattice chart, grid chart, or panel chart. Some software packages like Vega-Lite also use the term facet to describe its construction.
