Dot Matrix Chart
Grids of dots or squares that make a share countable.
The idea
A dot matrix chart, or waffle chart, draws a share as filled dots in a grid, so 37% becomes 37 out of 100 you can count. It is easier to read than a pie for a single share. Keep every dot equal to one unit and say what it is.
Where to use it
- A share of a population as 100 squares
- People icons for human-scale numbers
- Stacked dots for counts by group
- Explaining statistics to a general audience
