Data visualization is the process of representing data in a visual format, such as charts, graphs, or maps, to make it easier to understand and analyze.
Think of data visualization like a map that helps you navigate through a city. Just like how a map makes it easier to understand the layout of streets and landmarks, data visualization makes it easier to comprehend complex data by presenting it visually.
Infographic: A visual representation of information or data using images, charts, and text to convey key points concisely.
Heatmap: A graphical representation where values are depicted using colors on a matrix-like grid.
Bar Chart: A type of chart that uses rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values they represent for comparing different categories.
