- Statistical chart: makes it easier for audience to understand abstract statistics. Used to simplify complex information. Should illustrate just one point or support only one conclusion.
- Sequence of steps: reveals the steps in a process. This chart clarifies the steps and shows the order in which they occur.
- Flowchart: suggests how a decision flows to the conclusion. Labeled boxes are connected by arrows; at key points, one decision flows in one direction, and a different decision leads in a different direction. These alternative paths show the outcome of different decisions.
- Visual list: support the verbal information the speaker provides. Lists can quickly fly by an audience and a visual list supports the message.
