🥧 The most controversial chart in dataviz
The bar chart is a minor competitor of the pie chart. Any table is a real one.
You aren't adding anything using a bar chart. Our brains need to work better with sectors and their squares to make a pie chart useful
I think tables are always competitors for any chart, but one way to address this is to add visuals into tables: create bar chart tables, heatmaps, add sparklines, etc.
Not quite sure if I understand the second part correctly, but visual perception studies can be useful here https://medium.com/@kennelliott/39-studies-about-human-perception-in-30-minutes-4728f9e31a73
