Basic visualization types
Classification of visualizations:
- Descriptive – often secondary, used to characterize a phenomenon already known; used for presentation and/or verification; aimed at promoting and disseminating information as well as adapting it to the preferences of the recipient;
- Analytical – there is a goal to be achieved; cognitive process is directed; knowledge gained is new but may be based on primary and secondary data; used to test predictions and hypotheses;
- Exploratory – cognitive in its original form; investigating phenomena without defining clear and precise objectives; constituting an introduction and a basis to formulate further questions; discovering the essence of things and phenomena; with unpredictable effects; the effects are the most spectacular but also the path to them is the most arduous.
