Use Cases

The how-to guides answer "how do I draw this chart?". The use cases answer the question a reader usually arrives with: "which figures does my report need, and how do I build them?" Each page takes one field, walks one dataset from the first figure to the last, and ends with the figures composed into a single panel. Every figure links to the chart guide behind it, so the page stays a tour and the guide stays the reference.

The section grows one field at a time: AI, machine learning and NLP, medical and biomedical experiments, demographics and social science, business and product analytics, economics and finance, and seismology and geodesy.

What each page answers

Page Act Questions it answers Charts it reaches for
AI, Machine Learning and NLP Training Did the run converge? Which settings mattered? LineChart in a Panel, ParallelCoords
Evaluation What does the model confuse? Can its confidence be trusted? Heatmap, LineChart, Histogram, BarChart
Comparison Where does it sit among published models, and is the gap real? BumpChart, DumbbellChart, ScatterChart
The data How long are the documents, and what did filtering remove? RidgelinePlot, LineChart, SankeyChart
Medical and Biomedical Experiments The primary endpoint Do the arms differ, by how much, and how many reached the target? BoxPlot and SwarmPlot in a Panel, BarChart, ViolinPlot
Over the twelve weeks When did the arms separate, did every subject follow, and who stayed? LineChart
The wider panel What else moved with the dose, and is the safety signal an arm or a few subjects? Heatmap, DumbbellChart, SwarmPlot
Demographics and Social Science The age structure What does the population look like now and then, how did the shares shift, and what drove it? PyramidChart in a Grid, StackedAreaChart, LineChart in a Panel
Who comes, who goes, and where they live Who arrives and who leaves, and which regions are ageing fastest? SankeyChart, Heatmap
The country among the others Who gained the most years, is the world converging, and do richer countries live longer? DumbbellChart, RidgelinePlot, ScatterChart
Business and Product Analytics The revenue Where does the revenue come from, which segments carry it, and which channels bring the customers? StackedAreaChart, Treemap, BumpChart
Acquisition and retention Where does the funnel leak, when do people sign up, and do the customers who pay stay? SankeyChart, CalendarHeatmap, Heatmap
Planning What ships when, and what is late? GanttChart
Economics and Finance Growth When did the economies shrink, which are the largest, and how does structure change with growth? LineChart, BumpChart, StackedAreaChart in a Grid
Prices, incomes and the shocks Where did inflation bite, what did the pandemic cost, who caught up, and how do the G20 compare at once? Heatmap, BarChart, DumbbellChart, ParallelCoords
Seismology and Geodesy Where the earthquakes are Where does the seismicity concentrate, and what does the ground under it look like? HexbinChart, ImageChart, BasemapChart, ContourChart
The sequence How are the magnitudes distributed, how fast did the aftershocks decay, when did they arrive, and which way did the rupture run? LineChart on log axes, CalendarHeatmap, RadialChart
The instruments Which stations were watching, and how are they spread? NetworkChart
