Additional comments (beyond the polling options): * Something I find really nice and effective in the [D3 graph gallery](https://www.d3-graph-gallery.com/) is that **all chart types have a visually similar thumbnail** (rather than the quite heterogeneous screenshots we currently have). This is not only more visually appealing (to me, at least), but also helps underlying the specificity of a given chart (cf. line vs. area plot) — and thus makes easier for the user to decide which to choose. * As shown by the second poll, some charts are “similar”/inter changeable, in the sense that they are variation of the same principle so axes/aggregation don't really change from one to another. Reducing user choices to chart categories only (e.g. “part of a whole”, “evolution over time”, …) and letting the user refine the variant in the Explore panel might be a bit extreme and frustrating for the user (_“I want an 'area chart', why can I only choose something that look like a line chart?”_) — especially if chart variants can be detailed under a same section. But I believe we should always offer “the right to make mistakes” and lower the cost of changing one's mind. Thus, if I chose “Line chart” (and then enter the Explore panel), I should be able to change to area without having to start defining my chart all over again (just like I can stack/unstack series or switch to “contribution” for some chart types). Thus, the litmus test for defining a vis ualisation type group could be: **_“Can I seamlessly switch to any of the other variants in this group after I've entered the Explore mode?”_** -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
