grapher
One plotting points
A grapher is someone who graphs—that is, creates visual representations of data using charts, plots, or coordinate systems.
The term appears most often in compound forms designating specialists who record or represent particular kinds of information: a photographer captures images, a choreographer designs dance movements, a cartographer makes maps.
On its own, grapher is uncommon but may refer to someone skilled at creating statistical graphs or mathematical plots.
