What is Data Visualization?


Data visualization is the presentation of data/information  in a pictorial or graphical format.
eg. charts and graphs in excel,stock market technical chart analysis,Google analytics etc..

Data visualisation software displays data in more sophisticated ways such as bar charts,pie, infographics,geographic maps,heat maps,dials and gauges,fever charts and sparklines,etc..

visualization like charts and maps. Interactive data visualization lets people drill down into the
in details of these charts and graphs, and can interactively change which data they see and how it's processed.
