#dataviztip: For easier comparisons, use multiple bar charts on the same scale, instead of a series of 100% stacked bar charts. This #dataviz (of California traffic stops by reason and race by reddit u/DataTalks) would be far more useful were it a series of bar charts:

#dataviztip: 1. When a bar chart will do, just use a bloody bar chart. Semiotic-familiarity advantage, also bars side-by-side = easy comparisons. 2. Don't use color arbitrarily. If it doesn't mean something, it's noise. Example of both mistakes in one #wtfviz: #barchart #dataviz

#dataviztip: 100% stacked bars are 👌for showing categorical distributions, but aren't useful w/o meaningful ordering. Suggested improvements: functionality that allows users to sort by category, automatically making selected category the first segment. Chart by @overflow_data

#dataviztip: Having a column of location data doesn't mean you should make a map. In fact, only use a map if the location itself is 1. of high importance AND 2. not familiar. Here's an excellent eg of US state-level data (over time!) NOT mapped. Good #dataviz choice @WSJGraphics!

#dataviztip: if you are attempting to display more than 5 time series, consider small multiples. Or perhaps all the time series are just context, in which case gray then out. Please do create Technicolor spaghetti, like this chart from .@creditsuisse: #dataviz #Datavisualization

#dataviztip: Don't use a diverging color palette if your data doesn't diverge from zero in both directions. In most cases a sequential color palette is best practice. Use @colorbrewer! This #map by reddit u/blueeaglefly is bad bc 1. not colorblind safe 2. confusing #dataviz

Can I recommend a single stacked bar for showing parts-of-a-whole in the future? Statisticians Cleveland & McGill ran some experiments and found that humans are generally better at comparing lengths than angles. courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i247/f05/readi… #dataviztip #dataviz


#dataviztip: when visualizing a time series, should you use a bar or line chart? Default to line chart unless 1) the total number of datapoints are very few, or 2) when the value at each moment in time is more important then the general trend. #dataviz


#DataVizTip: Don't display data just for the sake of it. Make sure your metrics have a measurable target or goal to spur you into action!


#dataviztip: Visual signals are valuable, so use minimum no. of visual signals necessary in any #dataviz to reduce visual clutter. It's generally unnecessary to use different colors for categories if you have very few and are also clearly labeling said categories.

#dataviztip: 1. Don't make illustrations look data-driven when they're not. 2. If you don't have data, use your words to construct coherent sentences. 3. Don't make useless, ugly nonsense like this atrocity: #dataviz

#dataviztip: When using a sequential gradient with white on one end, pick a color that is NOT white to indicate "no data". This #map of non-consensual marriages in India is misleading because I can't tell if a geographic region has a low rate or no data. #dataviz #cartography

The first step to creating a data story is to specifically identify who is in your audience, their context around the data, and what you want them to know or do. Learn more: schillingdatastudio.com/blog/data-stor… #DataViz #DataVizTip #DataStorytelling


Based on data viz research, we know position (think bar graphs) allows for more accurate estimates and comparison while area (think tree maps) results in less accurate estimates and comparisons. Learn more in my latest blog post: schillingdatastudio.com/blog/wrong-gra… #DataViz #DataVizTip
