Charts in Looker Studio – an overview

Looker Studio offers different chart types to visualize data. Built-in charts are components that Looker Studio provides as part of the tool, which you can configure to visualize data. At the time of writing, there are 36 built-in chart types and variations available in Looker Studio under the categories of Table, Scorecard, Time series, Bar, Pie, Google Maps, Geo chart, Line, Area, Scatter, Pivot table, Bullet, Treemap, and Gauge.

Collectively, these chart types address most data visualization needs. If your use case requires a chart type beyond these built-in types, Looker Studio allows you to create custom visualizations using JavaScript libraries. Such custom chart types are called community visualizations. You can also use custom visualizations created by others and made available to all through Looker Studio’s Report Gallery (https://lookerstudio.google.com/gallery?category=visualization).
