I always find new types of plots very interesting. Is there a nice resource showing all the common types of plots, when to use them, alternatives, code etc?

- cb321 2y agoThe @amelius sibling has nice links to "graphics" choices, but I feel like the overall topic of the original article and this comment thread is more about the interaction of that with "statistical choices" as per my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40766618 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40766618) pointing to plots you might like to peruse. For example, though the final example in the reference there is graphically "only" shading the "outer band" darker than the inner alpha-blended region, this seems important statistically/visualization-wise since the unknown true parent distribution/ensemble samples are, well, sampled from need only be any monotonic curve within the whole region.. (not even differentiable if mixed discrete-continuous values may happen).
