Chart Types

PressViz currently supports 9 chart types:

  • Bar
  • Line
  • Area
  • Pie
  • Doughnut
  • Scatter
  • Radar
  • Gauge
  • Funnel
  • Use bar charts to compare categories.
  • Use line charts to show changes over time.
  • Use area charts when you want trend lines with stronger visual volume.
  • Use pie or doughnut only for simple part-to-whole stories.
  • Use scatter charts to show relationships between numeric values.
  • Use radar charts for multi-axis comparisons.
  • Use gauge charts for progress against a target.
  • Use funnel charts for staged conversion or drop-off views.

If you are unsure, start with:

  • Bar for category comparisons
  • Line for time-series data
  • Pie only when the number of segments is small and easy to read
