Pictorial Chart

A stacked chart shaped like a custom SVG icon, filling with data to create a visual metaphor. The shape reinforces the story behind the data, making charts more engaging and memorable.

Best for

  • Infographic-style presentations
  • Creating visual metaphors that reinforce the data story
  • Engaging non-technical audiences with relatable shapes

Avoid when

  • Precise value comparison is needed
  • The shape distracts from the data message
  • Too many data categories would be indistinguishable
