Distribution Charts
Reveal the spread, shape and frequency of data
Histogram
beginnerShow the frequency distribution of a single continuous variable using binned bars.
Best for:
- Understanding the distribution shape of a single continuous variable
- Identifying outliers, gaps, and clusters in data
- Checking normality before statistical analysis

Box Plot
intermediateSummarize a distribution with five statistics: min, Q1, median, Q3, max.
Best for:
- Comparing distributions across multiple groups
- Showing spread, skewness, and outliers simultaneously
- Statistical reporting where quartiles are meaningful

Violin Plot
advancedCombines a box plot with a density estimate, showing the full distribution shape.
Best for:
- When the full distribution shape matters, not just summary statistics
- Comparing distributions with potential bimodality
- Larger datasets where individual points would overclutter

Dot Plot
intermediateShow every individual data point, revealing the true granular distribution.
Best for:
- Small to medium datasets (20–200 points) where all values matter
- Showing exact individual measurements
- Combining with a box plot for context
