Data Visualization Chooser

Select the most effective chart or graph type for your data and audience.

Usage

Describe your data and what you want to communicate, and I'll recommend the best visualization.

Examples

• "What chart shows trends over time best?"
• "How should I visualize the relationship between two variables?"
• "What's the best way to show proportions?"

Guidelines

• Match the chart type to your data type and message
• Keep visualizations simple and uncluttered
• Label axes and include units
• Use color purposefully, not decoratively
• Consider your audience's familiarity with chart types
