[OT?] -- Unambiguous term for "graph"

I haven't had any math in over 40 years.
"graph" has always meant plotting Y as function of x.
I'm going to be using "graph" to at least three distinct *audiences*
1. Scilab news group when discussing Metanet
This should cause no problem as using term Metanet sets context.
2. An engineering newsgroup whose normal use would of use re plotting
a function, but would also be familiar with use describing a group
of nodes and associated paths.
3. My employer who *PRIMARY* association with "graph" would be either
a "bar chart" or a "pie chart".
What term may I safely use in all contexts. In the third instance I'm not so concerned that they actually understand me, BUT that they can not come to the *FALSE* conclusion that they do understand me.
PS - I'd not come across "graph" in this sense until three months ago.
I now may be assured of a full night's sleep.
Thank you.
