What does "diagram" mean in translations from Chinese? (beehaw.org)

I've come across "diagram" in translations from Chinese weiqi sources, but I'm not sure what is meant by this. Would the usual term in English be something like game record/kifu, opening patterns/fuseki, patterns generally or an idea that's not got an easy translation?

It's apparently translated in Chinese-English Dictionary of Weiqi Terms but I don't have access to that.

Disclaimer, I do not speak Chinese. But, https://yeefan.sg/weiqi/chinesegoterms/ says that the word "diagram" is 图 (圖) (tú) in Chinese, which means picture. I searched for 围棋圖 (Weiqi Tú) and found a variety of board diagrams; not just kifu:

, but also instructional diagrams like this one marking dead stones:

and any other type of game record/instructional image you could think of (Go problems, unusual board states used for instruction, etc).
