Data
Chart types
Choosing a chart type
All seventeen project types, what each one is for, and how many items each can carry before it stops being readable.
8 min readLine chart race
Time-series lines with historical trails, for when the shape of the history matters more than the current ranking.
6 min readPie chart race
Animated share-of-total slices, for composition rather than ranking. Eight categories is the practical ceiling.
5 min readBubble chart race
Packed circles sized by value, with logo and value inside each. For magnitude comparisons across five to twenty entities.
5 min readTreemap race
Area-proportional tiles filling the frame, Forbes-style. The best choice for eight to thirty items that together form a whole.
5 min readTable chart race
An animated leaderboard that stays readable well past the point where bars stop working — twenty rows and more, with multiple columns.
6 min readMap chart race
A choropleth that animates over time, with world, regional, and country maps down to US county and Indian district level — plus a dot-density mode.
7 min readAdvanced comparison
A designed head-to-head between two and six items. The most flexible type in the product, and the one teams most often overlook.
6 min readSlideshow
Sequential slides built from child elements, for narrative sequences that are not a single continuous chart.
5 min readCombination charts
Six layouts that stack two synchronized charts on one canvas, driven by a single spreadsheet — widely under-used because people do not know they exist.
7 min readChat history
Animated chat-style messages, for when the source material is genuinely dialogue.
3 min readStatic infographics
Any chart type rendered as a single still frame instead of a video — for slide decks, social posts, and print.
4 min readLayers
Layer reference
What layers are, the panels every layer shares, and a map of all twenty-four types to the pages that cover them.
6 min readText and date layers
Titles and credits, the animated date readout, and the sequence layers that step through changing text or images over time.
6 min readValue, total and gap
Three layers that pull a single number out of the data and put it on screen — a focal callout, a running total, and the lead over second place.
6 min readImage, video and captions
Logos and photos, embedded video clips, and the subtitle overlay that pairs with narration or an audio track.
5 min readBackground and decorative layers
The background fill, particles, and the audio visualizer — plus a note on restraint.
5 min readAnimation and effects
Entrance and exit animations, reveal order, overtake timing, rank emphasis, and the effects that draw attention to a hero item.
6 min readProduction
Narration and AI credits
How the Narrative layer voices a chart, what a credit is worth, and how the monthly pool works across a team.
6 min readExporting and sharing
Resolutions, frame rates, and formats — including the transparent export that lets a chart sit over footage in an editor.
5 min readKeyboard shortcuts
The full shortcut reference for the editor — playback, layer creation, timeline, duration, and pixel-level positioning.
