Which formats are commonly used to visualize data?
There are many types of data visualization. The most common are scatter plots, line graphs, pie charts, bar charts, heat maps, area charts, choropleth maps and histograms.
What should you not do in data visualization?
DON'T Try to Use All Your Data
Data visualizations are meant to be a visual summary, not a cluttered page of one-chart-for-every-piece-of-data. Try to distill your data points to the most relevant, interesting and memorable.
Which chart type should be avoided when visualizing data?
3D Charts:
The worst thing you can do to your visual report is to include 3D charts! Just, don't do it. Sure, they look beautiful & out of the ordinary compared to 2D charts but that is all there is to them. 3D charts tend to skew how we perceive the data thereby passing inaccurate info.
