The Charts tool provides you with many options for displaying your search results, including a variety of chart styles as well as which of your search versions you want to display. You can even customize the frequency of your display.
Chart type

Display version and frequency
When you search multiple translations or a collection (e.g. Top Bibles), you can choose which resource results display on your graph.
