One type of graphic I struggle with is choosing a type of chart when I need to show numeric data. There are bar charts, pie charts, column charts, line charts and so on.
But out of all these which one is the right one?
Well I found my answer with a graphic flow chart by Andrew Abela.

Here's the link to a bigger jpg version of Abela's chart.
Start at the center of the flow chart and work your way out.
Another useful website that gave detail explanations on charts and their uses is www.sapdesignguild.org.
Good luck and happy charting!
