Video: Choosing a chart type is trickier than you think - A conversation with Enrico Bertini

February 20, 2024 Nick Desbarats

I recently had a great conversation with data visualization researcher and professor Enrico Bertini, about how surprisingly tricky it is to choose a chart type. Watch the video above (20 mins) to discover...

  • Why both the nature of the data AND the purpose of the chart must be considered when choosing a chart type

  • Why traditional "chart-type-chooser" diagrams and catalogues are often unhelpful, and even unreliable

  • Examples of more reliable and helpful chart-type-choosing decision trees from my Practical Charts course
