Introducing patterns for column, bar, and pie charts

20.02.2025 by Infogram

We are excited to introduce patterns for column, bar, and pie charts in Infogram! This new feature allows you to choose from 19 different pattern styles to improve chart readability, highlight key data points, and add extra visual impact to your reports, dashboards and infographics.

At Infogram, we believe that data visualizations should be accessible to everyone. Patterns help ensure that information is clear and distinguishable for users with color vision deficiencies or those viewing content in grayscale. By adding texture to your charts, you make sure that insights remain visible to all audiences, regardless of color perception.

Beyond accessibility, patterns provide more creative options for designers, marketers, and analysts. Whether you want to emphasize specific data points or simply make your visualizations more dynamic, patterns allow for greater customization and engagement.
