A line chart can be used when you want to visually display the quantitative comparison between different categories of data.
A bar chart can be used to highlight the trend of data changes over time or other continuous variables.
A pie chart can be used when you want to display proportion data, emphasizing the proportional relationship of each part within the whole.
It is suitable for multi-dimensional data comparison, providing a clear reflection of the strengths and weaknesses of each dimension's indicators.
