One of the features of Yellowfin is that even after you have made a selection it is easy to swap between chart types to see how your data might look with different visualisations.

title Analytical
Type Icon When to Use Bubble Image Added Can be used with categorical, sequential or time-series data. Bubble size and location combine to effectively display 3-D data on a 2-D chart. Bubble charts can also be displayed in quadrants, allowing for negative X and Y values. Scatter Image Added A scatter plot (points not joined) chart that allows the charting of 2 related attribute series. Can only be used if the data series are related. Useful for seeing trends in data that is not linear. Histogram Image Added Shows the number of times a given value occurs in the dataset. Box & Whisker Image Added A chart which gives a quick overview of series of values and their statistical properties. Trellis Image Added A segmented chart for which the behaviour is determined by the data selected. Heat Grid Image Added Plots the intensity of a metric across multiple categories.

title Area Charts
Type Icon When to Use Area You want to emphasize the magnitude of change over time. Use an area chart to show how much the value of a measure changes over time. Stacked Area You want to emphasise the magnitude of change over time, while comparing multiple categories.

title Maps
Type Icon When to Use Image Maps If you do not have GIS defined columns you can use the Image Maps to create heat maps - these are a good way to display metrics with a spatial element such as Revenue by State or Country You will only be able to render maps for which an image map has been defined. Google Maps Google Maps allow you to render location data points onto a Google map which will be displayed as a Yellowfin Chart - along with associated Google map widgets. You will have to have a Google Map Key to use this type of chart GIS Google Maps Image Added A Google map which uses GIS data for its marker coordinates. GIS Maps GIS Maps allow the rendering of complex GIS polygons. These can be used to render spatial reports on the fly based on the GIS data available in a report. GIS Bubble Map A bubble map in which bubble positions are specified by GIS points. GIS Heat Map A heat map where colours representing GIS points are blended based on intensity.

title Pie Charts
Type Icon When to Use Pie You want to show the relationship of parts to the whole. Use a pie chart to highlight proportions rather than actual values. If it is important to show actual values in the chart, avoid using the pie chart type. 3D Pie Similar to the pie chart, but in three a dimensional form. Multi Pie Used to highlight individual component sizes in a system of multiple components. Ring Similar to the pie chart, but in a circular ring form.

title Special Purpose Charts
Type Icon When to Use Funnel Image Modified Used to show the status of stages in a process. Proportional Infographic Image Added Displays segments on an image, with the segment size representing metric value. Comparative Infographic Image Added Displays images sized in such a way to correspond to a metric. Radar Image Modified You want to compare data by integrating multiple axes into a single radial figure. Waterfall Image Modified Waterfall charts are a special type of Floating Column Chart. A typical waterfall chart shows how an initial value is increased and decreased by a series of intermediate values, leading to a final value. Event Image Modified Maps the occurrence of events against the values of a numeric data set over time. Week Density Image Modified Shows the density of occurrences based on hour relative to other densities on the same day of the week
