What About Time Series Charts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A time-series graph plots points while they occur in real-time collected through repeated measurements. They track changes over time. For this reason, they are particularly useful when you want to monitor your application\u2019s performance or chart vitals on a medical device. Generally, you visualize this type of data in Python, R, or Excel. It appears as a continuous stream.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_Series_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Time Series Project Ideas:\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Record temperature differences over a month for a local region<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collect network and sensor data to prepare a log for a mock IT audit<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create a chart to depict the changing price of company stocks in the last year<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_About_World_Maps\"><\/span><b>2. How About World Maps?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A world map depicts geographic data from particular regions and states, as well as countries. Geospatial data is always connected to a specific location, made up of pixels or grid cells to house information about physical or cultural themes. Depending on how intricate a map model is, you can drill down into the exact statistics, by labeling points of interest as well as zooming in on them.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_Map_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>World Map Project Ideas:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Survey the distribution of native wildlife on a remote island<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Count how many stores belonging to a retail chain are in each state<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn what percent of a country\u2019s population has received an education<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_About_Heatmaps\"><\/span><b>3. What About Heatmaps?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A heatmap also shows the relationships between several variables by using a wide range of colors to show how variables correlate with each other on the numeric spectrum. Heatmaps make data analysis easier by presenting complex data in an abstract format. A darker shade usually represents a greater value for the measured variable.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heatmap_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Heatmap Project Ideas:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep track of user activity on a webpage&#8211;what they click on\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assess the business impact of an incident<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Map the topography of a country through its elevation above sea level<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_About_Column_Graphs\"><\/span><b>4. How About Column Graphs?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everyone recognizes this common visualization. The classic column graph vertically compares different sets of data. Column graphs label variables on two axes and display them as separate columns. On a column graph, you can modify one dataset without affecting others. Column graphs have a clean look and feel. This makes them perfect for datasets with few categories.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Column_Graph_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Column Graph Project Ideas:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Showing how many people have birthdays in a given month<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compare the percent of sugar detected in high-calorie foods<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summarize the annual sales revenue by popular brand\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_What_About_Bar_Charts\"><\/span><b>5. What About Bar Charts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bar charts are similar to column graphs, except the numbers are read horizontally. This lets you track the growth rate of each dataset, which is broken down into percentages of the whole. A legend sometimes accompanies the chart to color code different items. You can group bars into a cluster for comparison. Each bar&#8217;s length is also proportional to its size.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bar_Chart_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Bar Chart Project Ideas:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Counting the total revenue earned for a clothing store in four major cities<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comparing the stats of the three basic RPG classes: Warrior, Mage, or Rogue<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surveying the most popular majors studied by college students<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_How_About_Pie_Charts\"><\/span><b>6.

A scatter plot shows possible relationships between two variables. They imply correlations. Because of this, they are ideal for identifying patterns with varying degrees of clustering.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scatter_Plot_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Scatter Plot Project Ideas:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create a plot on healthcare expenses vs. income bracket for people living in an area<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Decide if there is an actual correlation between adolescent height and weight<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Investigate factors that impact fuel consumption such as a vehicle\u2019s average speed<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_How_About_Bubble_Charts\"><\/span><b>8. How About Bubble Charts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The purpose of a bubble chart is to display a bunch of variables where each bubble equates with one data point. They show values using both the position and size of the bubble. Designing a coordinated bubble chart takes practice. This is because you need to assemble the data from a table with multiple columns and add an extra dimension.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bubble_Chart_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Bubble Chart Project Ideas:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plot some bubbles showing the fertility rate vs. life expectancy of families in developing nations<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Track the number of medals won during the Olympics per country in a specific year<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Figure out how many public transportation routes are available in a state capital<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_What_About_Candlestick_Charts\"><\/span><b>9. What About Candlestick Charts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Candlestick charts restrict vertical boxes to their opening and closing values. Candlesticks are a great way to highlight a stock&#8217;s performance and predict its long-term outlook. In general, the horizontal axis moves in real-time whereas the vertical axis is labeled by stock price. Green and red candles point to positive and negative movements.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Candlestick_Chart_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Candlestick Chart Project Ideas:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Look up the rate of growth on an index fund to save for retirement<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compare the price action of penny stocks with those of Google or Amazon<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Search for a chart of top-ranking cryptocurrency investments on Coinbase<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_How_About_Area_Charts\"><\/span><b>10.

They show groups of numeric values throughout the progression of another variable. The area inside is retrieved by solving an equation over a designated range. This type of chart can have overlapping conditions and even stack areas on top of each other to show how groups differ.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Area_Chart_Project_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Area Chart Project Ideas:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a stacked area chart of the quarterly profits for five different products<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plot the revenue generated from traveling and tourism in Hawaii\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Design an infographic where the areas suggest the rising cost of materials\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are other graph types that you can play around with that to improve your knowledge of charts.
