## What it is
From Data to Viz is a website and repository that classifies chart types by input data format, guiding users through a decision tree to find appropriate visualizations. It provides data stories, a gallery of graphics with R code snippets, and common dataviz caveats.

## Use cases
- decide which chart type fits my dataset
- find the right visualization for numeric and categorical data
- learn common data visualization mistakes to avoid
- get R code examples for building charts
- explore chart options for time series or network data
- teach students how to choose graphs based on data format

## When to choose
- you know your data format but not which chart to use
- you want curated advice and reproducible R code for chart types
- you need a teaching or reference resource for dataviz selection

## When to avoid
- you need a charting library or tool to render plots
- you work primarily in Python or JavaScript and want copy-paste code
- you need exhaustive coverage of every niche chart type

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, documentation
- domain: data-visualization, data-science, education, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: dataviz, decision-tree, chart-selection, ggplot2, r, reference-guide, static-website, web-server
