Histogram graph is a bar graph

SUMMARY

System monitor when configured style is Histogram only display the latest value in bar instead of a Histogram with a curve.

Also since https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/c8deafbb073101b7e4bbeb9beb3160a6df94b4eb the default for the applet has been concentric circles.
I would suggest reverting to a histogram instead as concentric circle are very little informative.
(I could make the same suggestion for plasma-systemmonitor itself too).

That's a problem of your translation. In english it is called bar chart, exactly as is displayed. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/blob/master/faces/facepackages/barchart/metadata.desktop .

Since we do not currently have an actual histogram we can't really switch that.
Comment 2 Méven Car 2020-12-15 14:13:41 UTC 
Then we have two issues:

 * incorrect French translation for "bar chart"

 * histogram missing from available chart style, that is a regression from Plasma 5.20

System tested is a VM that might help explain the issue.

I think this is fixed now, right?
