# Changing the Chart Type

#### Chart Type Selection

Infinity provides over 40 types of visualizations to help users effectively represent their data. The initial chart type selection varies based on the workflow used:

1. **AI-Builder Workflow:**
   * The AI automatically selects the most suitable chart type based on the user's intent and dataset.
   * Users can still manually change the chart type if needed.
2. **Manual Drag-and-Drop & SQL-Based Workflows:**
   * By default, users see a table view of their dataset.
   * The chart type can be changed using the **Chart Type Dropdown**, located at the top of the chart configuration page.
   * Selecting a different chart type will adjust the **data components** accordingly to ensure compatibility with the selected visualization.

#### Key Considerations:

* Some chart types may require specific data formats (e.g., time-series data for line charts, categorical data for bar charts).
* The customization options may vary based on the chart type selected.
* If AI-selected, the chart type is optimized for the best visual representation but can be modified as needed.

The next section will cover **Data Components** and how they change based on the selected chart type.
