VI4

The following Tableau chart demonstrates: (channel type, channel, mark)

magnitude, position on a common scale, circles
magnitude, area, circle
identity, color hue, colored circle

The position of the circles allows for clear disparity between number of touchdowns. Similarly, the color provides clear disparity between the conferences. The area of the circles, however, does not provide the best disparity in deciding the number of touchdowns. Many appear the same, but are not as is evident by their position.

The following Tableau chart demonstrates: (channel type, channel, mark)

identity, spatial region, circles

The disparity between conferences is very clear. just look down a column to find all of the players in that conference.
