    This document provides guidance on selecting the appropriate type of chart to visualize different types of data. It outlines options for comparing items, showing distributions, compositions, relationships, and changes over time. The key factors to consider are the number of variables and data points being visualized, whether the data is cyclical or static, and whether absolute or relative differences are most important to convey. Line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, pie charts, and stacked column charts are some of the common options highlighted.
