Multidimensional data can be challenging to display, especially when you want to convey multiple aspects or layers of information simultaneously. Basic chart types like bar, line, and pie charts can only show limited dimensions. So, to account for additional dimensions and make the visualization more informative and engaging, we can use different techniques, such as […]
Charts that display two dimensions allow for the comparison of two variables on two different axes, usually the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). This comparison helps in identifying relationships between the variables.Let’s explore some popular types of two-dimensional charts, with examples for each. Scatter Plots Scatter plots are a fantastic way to represent the […]
One-dimensional data simply means that we have a single variable or category we’d like to present visually. Here are some effective ways to display one-dimensional data using various chart types. Bar charts are an excellent way to display one-dimensional data, particularly when you have categorical or nominal data. In a bar chart, each category is […]
The following charts work best for displaying numeric-numeric data. Scatterplot: This type of chart displays data points on a Cartesian plane. Each data point has two numeric values: one providing the x-coordinate and the other the y-coordinate on the plot. Scatterplots are perfect for showcasing trends across two numeric variables, such as the relationship between […]
When displaying data associated with distinct categories, each category has a numerical value associated with it, charts focused on categorical-numeric data effectively support your data storytelling needs. Let’s dive into three common types of these charts: grouped, stacked, and multi-series charts. Grouped Bar Charts work well when you have multiple categories, and each category contains […]
Displaying categorical-categorical data in a chart means visualizing relationships or comparisons between two sets of categorical data. Categorical data, unlike numerical data, represents qualities or characteristics that can be sorted into different groups or categories, but not measured numerically. Being able to visualize data effectively is crucial to make informed decisions and to tell compelling […]
Charts that show number data are really important for helping us see and understand information that involves numbers. These charts make it easier to figure out and study how numbers are related to each other, how they change over time, and what kind of patterns they make. Here are some effective charts and their attributes […]
Categorical data refers to data that can be organized into categories or groups. Displaying this data type visually can help us quickly identify patterns, trends, and relationships. Here are some common chart types that can help us showcase categorical data. Bar Charts Bar charts are an excellent way to compare the frequency or counts of […]
When choosing charts, it is crucial to consider the question you want to answer because data visualization is all about helping your audience understand the story behind the numbers. To create a compelling and meaningful visual, it’s essential to choose a chart that aligns well with the underlying message you wish to convey. Let’s dive […]
Here are some practical tips for designing effective charts to display ranks, such as leaderboards or performance comparisons. Three examples include leaderboards, bump charts, and Pareto charts.
