# Visualizations

In Data Explorer, each widget renders data using a **visualization type**. You can switch the visualization type from the widget UI, or set it in JSON (for example, `chart_type: "line"`).

{% hint style="info" %}
Use lowercase visualization type names (for example, `table`). Some legacy dashboards may still reference older casing (for example, `Table`).
{% endhint %}

### Supported visualization types

#### Time series & charts

* [`line`](broken://spaces/-LmzGprckLqwd5v6bs6m/pages/WjLs1HGlKd44GSxbRkEu): Time series line chart for trends over time.
* [`bar`](/data-management/overview-1/visualizations/bar.md): Compare categorical values using bars.
* [`area`](broken://spaces/-LmzGprckLqwd5v6bs6m/pages/dVbvW1IdZnz1ip1kayRY): Time series chart with filled area.
* [`scatter`](broken://spaces/-LmzGprckLqwd5v6bs6m/pages/ZpneXECircFD4x0dchi1): Plot points to show correlation or distribution.
* [`barrace`](broken://spaces/-LmzGprckLqwd5v6bs6m/pages/2Fsj8N9F4tgR4vPxzBQ7): Animated ranked bars for changes over time.
