Compare and contrast
In this Periodic table of visualization, there are six parts of visualization. Data / information / concept / strategy / metaphor / compound visualization.
I usually use data visualization such as B(bar chart), L(line chart) or PI(pie chart) for my assignments. The information charts are more complicate than data visualization. In programming classes such as Java or C++, we use kind of information visualizations like CO(Communication diagram) or PT(petri net) method. Also for mind storming, I use another CO in metaphor visualization (concept map). I think BR(bridge) method will be useful to make a plan with several procedure and steps.
