diagram(s) [plate] of/showing trends Explanation: Might it actually be "planches graphiques des tendances", where "planches" , like "plate" in English, refers to a separate sheet containing only illustrations? planche - 1. Estampe, épreuve tirée à l'aide d'une planche gravée : 'Livre orné de planches'. 2. Ensemble de dessins, d'illustrations, dans un livre. [Larousse Lexis] plate ... 6. a full-page book illustration of any kind, printed on paper of a stock different from that of the text [Websters] "Plate" was often seen when I was a boy, but has been going out of fashion, I feel, certainly outside of printing circles. |

Drawings (of the trends) Explanation: Nothing to do in particular with computers. Planches are the drawing boards and by extension (metonymy) the drawings themselves. |

graphics of trends Explanation: Imagine you are giving a marketing presentation, it could be PowerPoint. To reinforce your arguments, you show graphs (or some kind of quantitative illustration) of trends in your target market. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2008-05-03 04:50:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "planches" just means images, whether (in old usage) printed color "plates" or, much more likely, a series of images representing polls/demographics/focus group results in a presentation of the maketing plan. |
