Chart Chooser
Helps pick the best chart type for your data and message, with a clean, readable design.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For anyone unsure which chart fits their data and key message: an honest, readable graph for a paper, slide or dashboard.
How to use it
Describe variables, units and time span in [DESCRIBE], the takeaway in [MESSAGE], then add audience and tool (Excel, R, Python). Real numbers are not needed, structure is enough.
Short example
Data: blood pressure in 3 groups over 6 months; message: group B falls faster; audience: paper; tool: Python.
What to expect
A primary and an alternative chart type with reasons, axis, color and annotation specs, steps or code for your tool, and a six-item checklist against misleading visuals.
Precautions and tips
- The model should not use data you did not describe; adapt the code to your own table.
- Avoid 3D effects and dual axes unless truly justified.
- Check that the colors still separate in grayscale.
