Visualization

Overview

A chart is a view that presents data visually.

Explore Analytics provides a rich set of visualizations that include line graphs, bar charts, area, pie, donut, scatter, and bubble, to name the most popular types. However, as you see below, it guides your visualization based on the data that you want to visualize:

• Timeline Chart - choose a timeline when you want to visualize temporal data to show trend and change over time. Data in the timeline can be presented using lines, bars, area, HLOC, and candlestick and you can easily switch between these presentations while keeping the overall structure of a timeline. See Timeline Chart.

• Category Chart - choose a category chart when you want to visualize data in categories for comparison. Data in a category chart can be presented using horizontal and vertical bars, pie, and donut. See Category Chart.

• XY Chart - choose an XY chart when you want to visualize numerical data and find correlations. Data is presented as a scatter plot or bubble chart. See XY Chart.

• Map Chart - choose a Map chart to visualize spatial relationships in data by indicating data on a geographical map. See Map Chart.
