Summary

We’ve covered a wide variety of advanced visualization types in this chapter! We’ve considered slope and bump charts that show changes in rank or value, step and jump lines that show discretely changing values, and unit charts that help materialize abstract concepts.

There is no way to cover every possible visualization type. Instead, the aim was to demonstrate some of what can be accomplished and spark new ideas and creativity. As you experiment and iterate through new ways of looking at data, you’ll become more confident in how to best communicate the stories contained in the data. Next, we’ll return briefly to the topic of dashboards to see how some advanced techniques can make them truly dynamic.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
