# Charts, plots and maps

You can use charts and maps to visualize data from your Databar tables and then embed those visualizations in your Notion/Coda docs and custom websites. To use visualizations please follow the steps below.

### Step 1 - Add your data

Create a table with your data source or <mark style="color:blue;">Upload a CSV</mark>. Make sure to delete any unnecessary columns and fix column names to avoid confusion during the charting process.

### Step 2 - Create your first visualization

On the top right of your table, click on <mark style="color:blue;">Share</mark> > <mark style="color:blue;">Create a chart or map with this data.</mark> This should navigate you to the Chart Builder page.\
\
Click on <mark style="color:blue;">+ Trace</mark> to add a visual. Click <mark style="color:blue;">Type</mark> and select the kind of visual needed from the selection panel. Once confirmed, select the fields from your table for the respective parameters of the visual.\
\
Your visual should immediately load up once all the parameters are filled.

### Step 3 - Customisations

In the Styles tab, you can make all the design changes to your visual. There are 4 sub-tabs:

1. General: Making changes to the overall page (i.e. if multiple visuals, changes affect all) such as the background colour, adding text, changing text styling, and so on.
2. Traces: Making changes to individual visuals, such as bar width, step size, text, and start and end values.
3. Axes: Allows you to style individual axes such as text, range setting, tick markers, and much more.
4. Legend: Allows you to add/remove legends and perform styling on its components.
