Every example is a real chart rendered from the data shown on its page — not a screenshot.
- Bar ChartSales by Region — Bar Chart ExampleRegional sales is the most common bar chart in business reporting. Categories are unordered and the comparison is between magnitudes, which is exactly what a bar chart does best.
- Line GraphMonthly Revenue — Line Chart ExampleA line chart is the right choice whenever the x axis is time and you care about the shape of the trend rather than individual values.
- HistogramTest Score Distribution — Histogram ExampleA histogram answers a different question from a bar chart: not "how do these categories compare" but "how are these measurements spread out". Paste one column of numbers.
- Pie ChartMarket Share — Pie Chart ExampleA pie chart is only honest when the parts genuinely add up to one whole. Market share is the textbook case: every point of share belongs to someone.
- Scatter PlotAd Spend vs Conversions — Scatter Plot ExampleA scatter plot tests whether two numeric variables move together. Each point is one campaign; the trend line is fitted by least squares.
- Radar ChartProduct Comparison — Radar Chart ExampleA radar chart compares a handful of profiles across the same set of axes. It works when every axis shares a scale — here, a 0–10 score.
- Area ChartWebsite Traffic — Area Chart ExampleAn area chart is a line chart with the region below it filled. Use it when the cumulative volume matters as much as the trend.
- TreemapBudget Allocation — Treemap ExampleOnce you have more than about six categories, a pie chart falls apart. A treemap encodes the same proportions as rectangle areas and stays readable.
- Funnel ChartConversion Funnel — Funnel Chart ExampleA funnel chart shows how many users survive each step of a sequence. The value of the chart is in the size of the drops, not the absolute counts.
- Waterfall ChartRevenue Bridge — Waterfall Chart ExampleA waterfall chart decomposes a net change into the moves that produced it. Paste the changes, not the running totals.
- Sankey DiagramUser Journey — Sankey Diagram ExampleWhere a funnel handles one linear path, a Sankey handles branching — several sources merging and each stage splitting into multiple outcomes.
- Box PlotSalary Spread by Level — Box Plot ExampleA box plot compresses each distribution into five numbers, which is what lets you compare many groups side by side in one chart.
- Violin PlotAPI Response Times — Violin Plot ExampleThis dataset is the argument for violin plots. Both regions have a similar median, but only one has two distinct latency modes.
- Gantt ChartProject Plan — Gantt Chart ExampleA Gantt chart puts every task on one shared time axis, which makes overlaps and slack immediately visible.
- TimelineCompany Milestones — Timeline ExampleA timeline marks single points in time rather than durations. If your rows have a start and an end, use a Gantt chart instead.
- Bubble ChartGDP vs Life Expectancy — Bubble Chart ExampleA bubble chart adds a third variable to a scatter plot as the area of each point — here, population.
- HeatmapCohort Retention — Heatmap ExampleRetention is a grid of numbers, which is exactly what a heatmap is for. Rows are signup cohorts, columns are weeks since signup.
- CandlestickStock Price — Candlestick Chart ExampleEach candle packs four numbers — open, high, low and close — into one mark, so a whole period of price action reads at a glance.
- Grouped BarYear over Year by Region — Grouped Bar ExampleGrouped bars keep every bar on a shared baseline, which is what makes a year-over-year comparison readable at a glance.
- Stacked BarRevenue Split by Segment — Stacked Bar ExampleA stacked bar shows the total and its composition in one mark. Use it when the total is the headline and the mix is the detail.
- Polar ChartWeekly Activity — Polar Chart ExampleDay of week is genuinely cyclical, which is the one situation where wrapping a bar chart around a circle is defensible.
- SunburstSales by Region and Country — Sunburst ExampleA sunburst shows a hierarchy as concentric rings. The inner ring sums its children automatically, so totals always reconcile.
- Network GraphTeam Collaboration — Network Graph ExampleA network graph draws people as nodes and their interactions as edges, sized and weighted by volume.
- Chord DiagramRegional Migration — Chord Diagram ExampleA chord diagram handles relationships that run both ways, which is precisely what a Sankey cannot do.
- Hexbin PlotDense Sensor Readings — Hexbin Plot ExampleWhen a scatter plot turns into a solid blob, hexagonal binning recovers the density information that overplotting destroyed.
