Visualization Selection Guide
| Goal | Chart Type |
|---|---|
| Compare categories | Bar chart (horizontal if many labels) |
| Show distribution | Histogram, box plot, violin plot |
| Show trend over time | Line chart |
| Show correlation | Scatter plot, heatmap |
| Show part-to-whole | Pie (<=5 slices), stacked bar |
Principles:
- Label axes and include units.
- Use color purposefully — not just for decoration.
- Avoid 3D charts; they distort perception.
- Start y-axis at 0 for bar charts (truncated bars mislead).
- Use a colorblind-safe palette (e.g.,
viridis,colorbrewer).
