# Creating Charts & Visualizations
A well-designed chart communicates in 3 seconds what a table of numbers cannot communicate in 3 minutes. AI can generate publication-quality visualizations from your data — but you need to know what to ask for.
Choosing the Right Chart Type
The chart type depends on the STORY you are telling:
| Story | Chart Type | Example | |-------|-----------|---------| | Trend over time | Line chart | Monthly revenue over 12 months | | Comparison between categories | Bar chart (horizontal for many categories) | Revenue by product category | | Part of a whole | Pie/donut chart (use sparingly) | Market share percentages | | Relationship between variables | Scatter plot | Price vs. sales volume | | Distribution | Histogram | Customer age distribution | | Multiple metrics over time | Combo chart (line + bar) | Revenue (bars) + growth rate (line) |
