"guide.box.definition": "A box plot summarises a set of numbers with five values: the lowest, the lower quarter, the middle, the upper quarter, and the highest.";
"guide.box.purpose": "It is used to compare the spread and centre of several groups, and to spot unusual values called outliers.";
"guide.box.appearance": "Each group has a box with a line across it at the middle value. Thin lines called whiskers stretch out from both ends of the box to the lowest and highest typical values. Outliers are small dots beyond the whiskers.";
"guide.boxen.definition": "A letter-value plot is an extended box plot that shows more cut points of the data, especially in the tails.";
"guide.boxen.purpose": "It is used for large data sets, where an ordinary box plot hides too much detail about the extreme values.";
"guide.boxen.appearance": "Each group looks like a stack of boxes centred on the middle value. The widest box holds the middle half of the data, and each smaller box further out holds a thinner slice of the tails, like a stepped pyramid.";
"guide.candlestick.definition": "A candlestick chart shows how a price moved during each time period, such as a day.";
"guide.candlestick.purpose": "It is used in finance to read the opening, highest, lowest and closing price of a stock or currency for each period.";
"guide.candlestick.appearance": "Time runs from left to right, with one candle per period.

"guide.diverging_bar.purpose": "It is used to compare two opposing sides, such as agree versus disagree answers, or men versus women in a population pyramid.";
"guide.diverging_bar.appearance": "A line runs down the middle. For each category, one bar extends to the left and another to the right. The length of each bar is its value, and the side tells you which group it belongs to.";
"guide.dodged_bar.definition": "A dodged bar chart, also called a grouped bar chart, places several bars side by side within each category.";
"guide.dodged_bar.purpose": "It is used to compare sub-groups within each category, such as sales of several products in each month.";

"guide.funnel.definition": "A funnel chart shows how many items remain at each stage of a process.";
"guide.funnel.purpose": "It is used to find where items drop out, such as how many website visitors go on to sign up and then to buy.";
"guide.funnel.appearance": "Stages are stacked from top to bottom. Each stage is a bar centred on the middle, and the bars get narrower going down, so the whole shape looks like a kitchen funnel.";
"guide.gauge.definition": "A gauge shows a single value against its possible range, like a speedometer.";
"guide.gauge.purpose": "It is used to show progress towards a goal or whether a reading is in a good, warning or bad zone.";
"guide.gauge.appearance": "A half circle or a straight bar represents the full range from minimum to maximum, often split into coloured zones. A needle or a filled portion points to the current value, sometimes with a marker for the target.";
"guide.heat.definition": "A heatmap is a grid of cells where each cell is shaded according to its value.";
"guide.heat.purpose": "It is used to spot patterns in a table of numbers, such as which hours of which days are busiest.";

"guide.hexbin.definition": "A hexbin plot divides a scatter plot into six-sided cells and counts how many points fall in each.";
"guide.hexbin.purpose": "It is used when there are so many points that they pile on top of each other, to show where they are most crowded.";
"guide.hexbin.appearance": "The plotting area is covered with hexagons like a honeycomb. Each hexagon is shaded by how many points it holds, with darker cells for more points.";
"guide.hist.definition": "A histogram shows how a set of numbers is distributed by counting how many fall into each range.";
"guide.hist.purpose": "It is used to see the shape of data: where most values are, how spread out they are, and whether the data leans to one side.";
"guide.hist.appearance": "Upright bars stand side by side with no gaps between them. Each bar covers a range of values along the bottom axis, and its height is how many values fall in that range.";
"guide.line.definition": "A line chart connects a series of values with a line, usually in time order.";
"guide.line.purpose": "It is used to show trends, such as how temperature or a stock price changes over days or years.";
"guide.line.appearance": "Time or another ordered value runs from left to right. A line goes up when values rise and down when they fall. Several lines can share the same chart, one per series.";
"guide.lollipop.definition": "A lollipop chart shows one number for each category as a thin stick with a dot on its end.";
"guide.lollipop.purpose": "It is used just like a bar chart, to compare values between categories, with a lighter look.";
