- [Narrator] There are a few categories of charts left worth mention. These are relationship charts, physical simulations, and flow. Many of the charts we've already seen can be used across different categories. For example, we've already seen graphics that do a great job of showing relationships. Scatterplots, for example, show relationships between two or more variables. Chord diagrams show the size of a relationship between members of a team or group and you can use a diagram to show the existence of a relationship, even where you have no numeric data to go with it. Then we have spacial diagrams, often showing simulation data. A good example of this is force directed graphics where you set settings such as gravity, charge and distance. D3 tries to position all the nodes in the most aesthetically pleasing way. One practical implementation of this is the network diagram where you might show links between personal computers, servers and a router.
