Here is one of such examples.

Data visualization is a vast field with so many different types of charts to learn and create. But there are several basic, evergreen graphs that every data designer and web developer dealing with analytics should know how to build. One of them is a Line Chart (or Line Graph). It’s primarily designed to represent data over time.
You can follow along with this tutorial to learn how to quickly create beautiful interactive line (and step-line) charts using JavaScript. We’ll look at some cool examples and build them step by step, which will make the process both clear and entertaining.
For your convenience, you can find all of them on CodePen [and on AnyChart Playground] so you could play with the line charting code further without limits.

A circle packing chart is a common data visualization technique for representing hierarchically organized data through nested circles. Due to the similarity to a treemap, which uses nested rectangles for the same purpose, sometimes it is called a circular treemap. Introduced to data analysis by American mathematician William Thurston in 1985, circle packings greatly reveal the hierarchical structure of data.
I want to show how you can easily build an elegant interactive circle packing chart with the help of JavaScript! In this step-by-step tutorial, we will be representing the world’s 100 wealthiest people in 2022 by country and industry, according to Forbes’ list of billionaires. So, get your packings done and get ready as your brain is going to get slightly richer!

Have you heard of a mosaic plot? It is a very interesting chart type designed to facilitate exploring relationships between variables. Mosaic plots (also known as mosaic charts) visualize data in rectangular tiles whose width encodes one variable and height the other.
If you’d like to learn how to create such an elegant diagram with ease, follow me as I will show you the ropes right now! Along this tutorial, I will be building an interactive mosaic plot of social media adoption in the United States by age group and year, using JavaScript and explaining every step in detail.
