From my POV this is worth bookmarking - there are many datasets that are much clearer with one chart type or another - having 100 styles with the same data will later offer a visual index to help me decide what will best serve my needs.

My thoughts exactly! At least half of these are chart types that I've never seen before or at least would never think of using so having this reference is awesome.
Agree 1000%!

On that note, I'm looking for an Encyclopedia of Visualizations. Something like this, but even more comprehensive.

I don't want fluff words. Just a visualization reference.

For each visualization I would want, at a minimum, an Example and the Name (and any alternative names).

Print would be awesome. So that I can flip through visualizations.

But, a website would be even better.

Aware of anything like this?
