Data visualizations that compare numbers
Numbers can tell a story, but it's just easier to understand it through infographics. Data visualizations help us understand the comparison of numbers, making it clearer and simpler. The material below displays helpful types of data visualizations that compare numbers.
Types of Charts that help
Starting off, a slope graph compares two points of two conditions across two lines. It's a good type of data visual that displays direction and by how much. Helping people understand the patterns in a short span of time by consuming the sets of data being compared. Another type of data visualization would be a dot plot. It uses dots on a line to show data for different things. Comparing two or more of the same topic, like two genders, and then involving a topic like who eats more types of fruits. This type of visual is very simple, making it quick to look at and then understand the differences.
Moving forward, a stacked bar chart displays how different parts add up into one topic, while showing comparisons across topics. This kind of chart has a stack, each representing a part of a whole. The values add up to the total data. The design allows the reader to have a complete view of the different sets of data. Making it useful to compare, it offers a bigger picture. For example, the stack bar chart shown below demonstrates what was spoken about in the material above.
