Bar Chart

StarStarStarStar

Used to compare quantity across different categories; best when categories are discrete and not too many.

StarStarStarStar

Line Graph

StarStarStarStar

Displays data points over a continuous interval or time span; best for showing trends and changes over time.

StarStarStarStar

Pie Chart

StarStarStarStar

Shows the proportion or percentage each category represents of the total; best for illustrating part-to-whole relationships with a few categories.

StarStarStarStar

Histogram

StarStarStarStar

Visualizes the distribution of numerical data; best used when the data is continuous and you're interested in the frequency of values within intervals.

StarStarStarStar

Scatter Plot

StarStarStarStar

Shows the relationship between two quantitative variables; best for identifying correlations or patterns.

StarStarStarStar

Heat Map

StarStarStarStar

Represent data values using color coding; best for comparing data across multiple categories or through spatial data.

StarStarStarStar

Area Chart

StarStarStarStar

Emphasizes the magnitude of change over time; best for showing volume beneath a line chart, illustrating cumulative totals.

StarStarStarStar

Box Plot

StarStarStarStar

Displays the distribution of a data set based on a five-number summary; best for detecting outliers and understanding the spread of data.

StarStarStarStar

Bubble Chart

StarStarStarStar

A type of scatter plot that represents three dimensions of data; best used when the data set contains three quantitative and one to two categorical variables.

StarStarStarStar

Stacked Bar Chart

StarStarStarStar

Indicates how different parts contribute to a total; best when you want to show the total size along with the composition of the categories.

StarStarStarStar

StarStarStarStar

Used for scheduling and to show the progress of multiple tasks over time; best for project management.

StarStarStarStar

Treemap

StarStarStarStar

Shows hierarchical data as nested rectangles; best for space-efficient display of hierarchical data and relative sizes.

StarStarStarStar

Waterfall Chart

StarStarStarStar

Visualizes cumulative effect of sequentially introduced values; best for understanding the stepwise impact of different contributing factors.

StarStarStarStar

Dot Plot

StarStarStarStar

Displays frequency using dots; best for small to moderate sets of data where precise values for each category are needed.

StarStarStarStar

Spider or Radar Chart

StarStarStarStar

Displays multivariate data as a two-dimensional chart; best used to plot one or more groups or variables that have three or more variables.

StarStarStarStar

Waffle Chart

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes a 10x10 grid to show percentages; best for visualizing parts of a whole with one or very few categories for quick comparisons.

StarStarStarStar

Streamgraph

StarStarStarStar

A type of stacked area chart that is displaced around a central axis, often used to show changes in data over time; best for displaying high-volume datasets with long time periods.

StarStarStarStar

Violin Plot

StarStarStarStar

Combines a box plot with a kernel density plot; best for comparing the distribution of data across several groups.

StarStarStarStar

Choropleth Map

StarStarStarStar

A thematic map where geographic regions are colored or shaded in relation to a data variable; best for showing how a measurement varies across a geographic area.

StarStarStarStar

Sankey Diagram

StarStarStarStar

Visualizes the flow of data between different nodes; best for showing the distribution and conservation in a system.
