Choose from 24 chart kinds, edit the underlying data, and shape the appearance for the point you need the audience to notice.

## More than the usual bar-or-pie decision.

Decka's chart library covers familiar comparisons and more specialized distributions, relationships, and hierarchies.

### Choose from 24 kinds

Start with bar, line, or donut, or use a heatmap, correlogram, ridgeline, treemap, radar chart, and more.

### Edit the real data

Open the chart editor to change labels, series, values, and the data structure required by that chart family.

### Control the appearance

Tune labels, axes, markers, legends, borders, and chart-specific styling instead of accepting a fixed visual preset.

## Choose a chart for the question your data answers

A chart should make one relationship faster to understand. Rankings need a different visual grammar from distributions; correlations need a different one from change over time. A wider chart library makes it possible to choose for the data instead of squeezing every story into the same default chart.

Decka includes 24 chart kinds across categorical, time-series, distribution, matrix, hierarchy, and multivariate families. Each chart remains a slide object with editable source data and appearance controls, so you can refine both the information and how it reads in the composition.

## Presentation chart questions, answered

### Can I paste data from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy a table or column and paste it into a compatible chart data editor. Decka fills the selected cells and expands supported categorical or distribution data when the pasted range needs more rows or series.

### Can I style one series differently from the others?

Yes. In charts with multiple series, use the series color controls to emphasize the comparison that matters. Labels, axes, markers, legends, and other options remain available for the chart as a whole.

### How do I choose the right chart kind?

Start with the question: bars compare or rank categories, lines show change over time, distribution charts show spread, and matrix or scatter charts show relationships. Use the simplest kind that makes the intended comparison immediate.
