Some of the popular types of data visualization are:
Tables: Data is displayed in rows and columns to compare variables.
Pie charts: These graphs are divided into sections representing parts of a whole. This is a simple way to organize data and compare the sizes of each section.
Line graphs show change in one or more quantities by plotting a series of data points over time.
Histograms plot a distribution of numbers using a bar chart, representing the quantity of data that falls within a particular range.
Tree maps display hierarchical data as a set of nested shapes. Treemaps are helpful when comparing proportions between categories according to their area size.
