20. Types of visualization.

Data visualisation is an important visual method for effective communication and analysing large datasets. Through data visualisations, we are able to draw conclusions from data that are sometimes not immediately obvious and interact with the data in an entirely different way.

Because of the way the human brain processes information, using charts or graphs to visualize large amounts of complex data is easier than poring over spreadsheets or reports. Data visualization is a quick, easy way to convey concepts in a universal manner – and you can experiment with different scenarios by making slight adjustments.
