Data Visualization

Whether you have one variable or, maybe, two you can find a visualization that might help get your point across to your audience.

The visualization you choose is up to how many variables you want to show, what you are trying to show, and how you want to show it. You should be flexible to change your target visualization to get the best response in the end from your audience. Websites to help aid you are The Data Visualization Catalogue and From Data to Viz.
