The document discusses different types of charts used for data visualization, including vertical bar charts for comparing grouped categorical data with less than 10 groups, stacked bar charts for showing parts that make up whole groups, line graphs for illustrating trends over time, pie charts for comparing parts of a whole, activity diagrams for modeling business processes and sequential/parallel activities, and timing diagrams for representing object interactions over a linear time axis. It also lists several chart templates like main idea charts, spider maps, and Venn diagrams.

Vertical bar charts are best for comparing data that is grouped by discrete categories. Vertical bar charts are best when you don’t have too many groups (less than 10 is usually good). Each bar is separated by blank space which indicates that there is no inherent order to your groups. Stacked Bar Charts Stacked bar charts are a great choice if you not only want to convey the size of a group relative to other groups, but also illustrate the parts that make up the whole group. Line Graphs Line charts, or line graphs, are powerful visual tools that illustrate trends in data over a period of time or a particular correlation. For example, one axis of the graph might represent a variable value, while the other axis often displays a timeline. Pie Charts Pie charts are the simplest and most efficient visual tool for comparing parts of a whole. For example, a pie chart can quickly and effectively compare various budget allocations, population segments or market-research question responses. Activity Diagram Activity diagrams are probably the most important UML diagrams for doing business process modeling. In software development, it is generally used to describe the flow of different activities and actions. These can be both sequential and in parallel. They describe the objects used, consumed or produced by an activity and the relationship between the different activities. All the above are essential in business process modeling. Timing diagram Timing UML diagrams are used to represent the relations of objects when the center of attention rests on time. We are not interested in how the objects interact or change each other, but rather we want to represent how objects and actors act along a linear time axis.
Each individual participant is represented through a lifeline, which is essentially a line
forming steps since the individual participant transits from one stage to another. The main focus is on time duration of events and the changes that occur depending on the duration constraints. Candy Main Idea and Details Chart
