Summary

This chapter has showcased a fairly comprehensive range of visualization chart types across a taxonomy of different methods.

These examples should be considered as representative of the majority of the relevant and popular approaches being used today. However, you should appreciate that this is not an exhaustive nor restrictive collection of options and does not cover all the derivatives that are possible.

The purpose of this chapter was to help you to understand the challenges and options involved in rationalizing your data representation solutions. Hopefully, the information provided about the relationship between the physicality of your data variables and the chart types that can accommodate them will give you a fast track solution.

Additionally, you may have learnt more about the different roles played by visual variables across these examples, and it may inspire you to have the confidence to consider constructing your own unique solutions.
