chart show the relative size of the data.
Donut chart
A pie chart that features a hole in the center, to show a relevant
single numerical value with its progress.

Stacked bar chart


A bar chart where each bar is divided into multiple sub-bars. A
single bar can be used as an alternative to pie or donut chart.

Visualizing relationships between variables
Scatter plot

which can be categorical or numerical
