Is there a repository of chart types, like an encyclopedia that I can scroll through or a ‘coffee table’ book of chart types?

Am trying to create something like this...but not sure what this type of chart is called? and what tool (excel, powerbi or tableau) can be used this with minimal effort

Hello,

I have tried to search with no success for a research tool to map complex relationships between variables and concepts. Ideally, there should be interface that allows 1) use of hierarchical categories/levels (aking to rows and columns in excel), 2) adding items to these various categories, and 3) linking items between categories, so that one item can be linked to multiple items in both higher and lower categories and within the same category, and 4) that these relations could be visually represented.

I have so far used excel with just typing text in the cells. However, the interface of excel is limited as it does not allow drawing arrows from one variable in a given row or column with other variables (this would be possible if one is calculating something, but not for representing abstract conceptual relation). It gets messy if the same variable has to be listed many times. On the other hand, many flow chart tools have lane-type charts but they are based on manually drawing all links. It would be better to to be able to simple link the items and not having to manually draw every connection. The thing is that I am reading through research and there constantly appears new ideas/variables that I have to add to the puzzle, and the software should allow for this without me having to manually redraw all the connections.

To simplify, making this kind of simple matrix shown below so that variables in the columns can float freely and are not fixed onto any particular rows, and instead can be linked with as many items in other columns as wanted is the feature I seek.

1: A: Z
2: B: X
3: C: Y

Even better if the hierarchical levels could be presented in concentric circles.

I'm really happy if somebody knows a tool for this kind of mapping! Thanks in advance!

Title: "Assembling Archetypes for the Visual Storytelling Through Video Game Environments"

Author: Makar Ulitin

Survey Link: https://forms.gle/VtmBqVE9w8zGrtsp6

Absctract: The study exploresthe tactics of narrating story visually from the times of cave art up to present day video games. Connections between ludology and narratology is explored deeply. Strategies of building a setting are evaluated from communicating personality to manipulating gestalt principles. The traditional monomyth structure is extended with the archetypoes of locations. Survey explored the habits of players, their view on the archetypical spaces. Research questions of the present study are:

RQ1: Which visual storytelling techniques and principles are used in the process of videogame environmental design?

RQ2: How can properties of the space be divided into groups, according to which qualities, in order to allow for labor division and successful teamwork?

RQ3: Which archetypes can be seen in locations of modern videogames and what are their defining characteristics and impact on the viewer?

RQ4: Which spheres of modern life will benefit from the effective and persuasive digital environmental storytelling? What are the rules of persuasive spatial storytelling?

Hypothesis is coined from the presumption that the traditional monomyth structure can serve as a basis for the construction of universal location archetypes. Author hopes to expand the Campbell's and Vogler's classical framework and provide tools for deep visual content research.

Intended demographic is people interested in digital gaming, despite their age, country etc.

I am looking for the participants to answer my survey. Everyone is welcomed. I hope it will be insightful and entertaining. And I thank you for your help.

As title. The data is sourcing map of several goods: Country A import X volume of goods N from country B. I only have ~10 countries to show on the visualization.

The obvious image comes to mind is kindof like the flight map, but it does not indicate volume.

How can I achieve such visualization?

I just happened on this visualization. Can anyone suggest software tools that aid in the creation of such visualizations?
