Intuitive Visualization Basics

Data visualization uses dashboards to present key metrics and insights in a visual format that is easy to understand and interpret. Effective data visualizations according to Tufte strive for clarity, precision and efficiency in conveying information. Gestalt psychology explains how individuals perceive whole objects and patterns despite incomplete information through principles like similarity, proximity and continuity. Different chart types are suited to different data types, for example bar charts are best for discrete data while histograms are used for continuous data. Interactivity allows users to explore data visualizations.
