graphics of trends
Imagine you are giving a marketing presentation, it could be PowerPoint. To reinforce your arguments, you show graphs (or some kind of quantitative illustration) of trends in your target market.

"planches" just means images, whether (in old usage) printed color "plates" or, much more likely, a series of images representing polls/demographics/focus group results in a presentation of the maketing plan.

diagram(s) [plate] of/showing trends
Might it actually be "planches graphiques des tendances", where "planches" , like "plate" in English, refers to a separate sheet containing only illustrations?
planche - 1. Estampe, épreuve tirée à l'aide d'une planche gravée : 'Livre orné de planches'. 2. Ensemble de dessins, d'illustrations, dans un livre.
[Larousse Lexis]
plate ... 6. a full-page book illustration of any kind, printed on paper of a stock different from that of the text
[Websters]
"Plate" was often seen when I was a boy, but has been going out of fashion, I feel, certainly outside of printing circles.

Drawings (of the trends)
Nothing to do in particular with computers. Planches are the drawing boards and by extension (metonymy) the drawings themselves.
