Index

Chapter 5. Handling "The Classics"

Bar, line, and pie charts are some of the most common ways of representing data. Though originally devised by William Playfair at the end of the 18th century, these classic visualizations are as valuable today as they were decades ago. Their simplicity and high visual impact have positioned them among the most popular objects in dashboard design. Additionally, they served as inspiration to create new chart styles, such as combo, slope, and radar charts. With that in mind, in the next pages we will talk about:

Bar, line, and pie chart usage
Labeling and color encoding
Best practices, tips, and tricks

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar?
