Hat Graph by iFour

The Hat Graph is a custom visual designed to compare values across categories and groups. It is ideal for scenarios where you want to analyze the performance or metrics of multiple categories (e.g., players, products, or teams) within specific groups (e.g., games, regions, or time intervals). The visual uses vertical bars with caps to highlight thresholds or baselines, simplifying comparisons.

Key Features
Vertical Bars with Caps for Thresholds : Each bar represents a category value, with caps highlighting thresholds or benchmarks, making it easy to identify performance relative to baselines.

Grouped Comparisons : Organize bars by groups (e.g., games, regions, time intervals) to enable side-by-side comparisons within a structured context.

Interactive Tooltips for Better Context : Enhance insights by including tooltips that provide detailed information for each bar, such as category name, value, and comparisons to thresholds or baselines. For example, hovering over a bar can display metrics like performance scores, group details, or comparisons to benchmarks.

Use Cases

Financial Performance Analysis : Compare financial metrics, such as profit margins, revenue, or costs, across departments, projects, or fiscal quarters.

Comparing Performance Across Groups : Use Hat Graphs to analyze how different entities (such as players, products, or teams) perform within specific groups, like games, regions, or time periods. This is useful for highlighting differences and identifying patterns within each group.

Product Sales Tracking by Region : Analyze how various products perform across sales regions or time periods.
