Types of Data Visualization
‐ Temporal‐ Hierarchical‐ Network ‐ Multidimensional‐ Geospatial
3
Temporal
‐ Must satisfy 2 conditions : ‐ Must be linear‐ Must be one dimensional
‐ Examples:‐ Scatter Plots, Timelines,
Line Graphs, etc.
4
Hierarchical
‐ These are best used if clusters of information is going to be displayed.
‐ These are a little harder to read.
‐ Examples: Tree Diagrams, Ring Charts and Sunburst Diagrams
5
Network
‐ These datasets connect genuinely with other datasets.
‐ Shows relationships between datasets without wordy explanations.
‐ Examples: Matrix charts, Node-link diagrams, Word Clouds, etc.
6
Multidimensional
- There is always 2 or more variables in the mix to create a 3D data visualizations.
- These data visualizations are the most vibrant and eye-catching.
- Examples: Venn Diagrams, Scatter Plots , Pie Charts, etc.
7
Geospatial
- These data visualizations relate to real life physical locations , overlaying familiar maps with different data points.
‐ Examples: Flow Map, Density Map, Cartogram, etc.
