About Data Visualization Visualization Types Designing a Visualization Helpful Tools and Tutorials

Common Static Visualization Types

Th is taxo nomy is based on a data taxonomy from: Shneiderma n, B. (1996). The eyes have it: A task b y data type taxonom y for information visualizations . Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Visual Langua ges - B oulder, CO (pp. 336-343).

The taxonomy is heavily weighted toward the more abs tract information visualiz ation techniques and is less representative of scientific visualizations, which can be highly sp ecialized by domain and are more difficult to generalize.

(A sl ightly differe nt taxonomy with examples is available at Visual Analytics Digital Library - Visualization Types )

1 D/Lin ear 2D/Planar (incl. Geospatial)3D/VolumetricTemporalnD/MultidimensionalTree/HierarchicalNetwork

1 D/Linear

Examples:

lists of data items, organ ize d by a si ngle feature (e.g., alphabetical order)(not com m only visu alized)
