The Diamond Dental Software graphing module presents your data to you visually. Five important aspects of practice management are graphed including: Accounts Receivable, Charges and Payments, Procedure Category Analysis, New Patients, and Patients Seen. Graphs are accessed by clicking the Graph button on the Reports Menu.

Many Ways To Display Your Data
The Diamond Dental Software Graph Modules use a powerful 32 bit graphing engine that allows many ways to view your data. The examples shown in this section demonstrate five different graph types, each displaying the same data from a different perspective. The data is production totals for three doctors over five months.

Bar Graph
The Bar Graph is a standard bar graph. The sample screen shot displayed here is the 2D version. All graphs can be displayed in either 2D or 3D. The side by side bars represent each doctor’s production per month for easy comparison.

Stacked Bar
The Stacked Bar Graph is a variation of the bar chart but with the bars stacked on top of each other. This lets you see the total office production per month and at the same time, each doctor’s relative contribution to that monthly total.

Area Graph
The Area Graph has the same concept as the Stacked Bar but spreads the entire period of the graph over one continuum.

Line Graph
The Line Graph is actually the 3D version of the Curved Line Graph which displays the data as 3-dimensional continuous ribbons, giving a unique perspective to the doctor’s production totals.

Pie Graph
The four graphs described above are all variations of the standard bar graph which show amount changes over time. The Pie Graph has a different purpose. In this sample screen shot, the entire pie represents the entire production for all three doctors for the five month period designated. Each pie slice represents one doctor’s portion of the total production.
