More Practical Charts: 20 Additional Chart Types for Data-savvy Audiences, a Companion Book to Nick Desbarats’ Practical Charts

In Nick Desbarats’ Practical Charts, you learned about 30 essential chart types. More Practical Charts adds 20 more “advanced” chart types that can show powerful insights that aren’t possible to show using basic chart types, that can be shown to audiences with more technical or scientific backgrounds (but that audiences with average levels of data savviness might struggle to understand), and that are commonly used in technical or scientific content, but rarely used in content that’s targeted at a general audience. More Practical Charts covers the following chart types: Pareto charts Heatmaps Shape size charts Overlapping cycles charts Cyclical heatmaps Cycle plots Strip plots Jittered strip plots Merged strip plots Histograms Box plots Merged histograms Overlapping histograms Distribution line charts Distribution heatmaps Merged bar charts Scatter plots Colored-dot scatter plots Bubble charts Scatter plot matrices
