# Data Visualization: Chart Type Options

The Data Visualization tool supports several types of visualizations via the Chart Type selector. The chart types available include Line, Bar, Grouped Bar, Stacked Bar, Bar & Line, Pareto, Scatter, Heatmap and Box. These options enable you to visualize your data in unique ways, and gain insights into your data.

## Options for Specific Chart Types

Certain chart types have additional options that enrich your visualizations.

#### Grouped Bar, Bar & Line

The **Grouped Bar** and **Bar & Line** chart types provide additional options that allow you to present the bars in **Ascending**, **Descending**, or **Auto** order, and also lets you limit the data shown by setting the **Number of Bars** to show **All Bars**, or only the **Top N Bars**.

Please note that these options are enabled only when the X-axis has a categorical variable selected.

#### Scatter Plot

Scatter plots provide an additional option for **Data Sampling**. It is recommended that **Data Sampling** is set to **On** when there is a large amount of data, to enable optimized performance of the application when rendering a scatter plot with tens of thousands of data points.
