The Graphic Continuum

DISTRIBUTION THE GRAPHIC CONTINUUM Histogram Confidence Interval Box & Whisker Violin Stock Fan Graphical representations of the distribution of data The Graphic Continuum shows several ways that data can be illustrated individually or combined to show relationships. Use of various shapes, chart types, and colors can help identify patterns, tell stories, and reveal relationships between different sets and types of data. Bar charts, or histograms, for example, can illustrate a distribution of data over time, but they also can show categorical or geographic differences. Scatterplots can illustrate data from a single instance or for a period, but they also can be used to identify a distribution around a mean. A Fan Chart combines a line chart for observed past data with ranges for future values This set of charts does not constitute an exhaustive list, nor do the connections represent every possible pathway for linking data and ideas. Instead, the Graphic Continuum identifies some presentation methods, and it illustrates some of the connections that can bind different representations together. The six groups do not define all possibilities: Many other useful, overlapping data types and visualization techniques are possible.
