Block ChartBlock Chart is used for comparative analysis.
The block chart shows the relation between expression values as
blocks of varying area. Up to
three dimensions can be displayed, where each dimension is
subdivided into sub-blocks. Anextra expression is often used to
calculate the color of each block, in which case the chart type
is
also known as a heat chart.
Mekko Chart:Mekko chartspresent data using variable width bars.
They can display up to three levels of data
in a two-dimensional chart. Mekko chartsare useful in such areas
as market analysis.
This chart is similar to step bar chart. The width of the bars
are depending on the values.
Funnel ChartThe funnel chartis typically used for showing data
in flows and processes. From a displaystandpoint it is related to
the pie chart. The chartmay be shown with either segment
height/width
or segment area proportional to data. It is also possible to
draw the chartwith equal segment
heights/widths, disregarding data points.

Line ChartLine charts present data as lines between value
points, as value points only or as both lines and
value points. Line charts are useful when you want to show
changes or trends.
Combo ChartThe combo chart allows you to combine the features of
the bar chart with those of the line chart:you can show the values
of one expression as bars while displaying those of another
expression
as a line or symbols.
Radar ChartRadar charts could be described as line charts where
the x-axis is wrapped around 360 degreesand with one y-axis for
each x-value. The result is similar to a spider web or a radar
screen.
Scatter Chart

2/2
The scatter chart presents pairs of values from two expressions.
This is useful when you want to
show data where each instance has two numbers, for example,
country (population and
population growth).
Grid ChartThe grid chart is similar to the scatter chart but
plots dimension values on the axes and uses an
expression to determine the plot symbol. A special mode makes it
possible to show a third
dimension in the form of small pie charts as plot symbols.
Pie ChartPie charts normally show the relation between a single
dimension and a single expression, but
can sometimes have two dimensions.
Gauge Chart
Gauge charts are used to display the value of a single
expression without dimensions.
Pivot TableThe pivot table and the straight table are special
cases as they display the data in table form while
retaining all the properties of a chart.
The pivot table is one of the most powerful tools for analyzing
data. It offers substantial
functionality but is still easy to use. Pivot tables show
dimensions and expressions in rows and
columns, for example in cross tables. The data in pivot tables
may be grouped. Pivot tables can
show partial sums.
Straight TableAn example of a Straight table
The pivot table and the straight table are special cases as they
display the data in table form while
retaining all the properties of a chart.
In opposition to the pivot table, the straight table cannot
display sub-totals or serve as a crosstable. On the other hand, any
of its columns can be sorted and each of its rows contains one
combination of dimension(s)+expression(s).
