I'll take the same example here as a lot of different kind of graphs are used to show the spread of the corona virus covid-19: https://www.svt.se/datajournalistik/har-sprider-sig-coronaviruset/
Numbers in different colors show clearly the current scope of the situation. Maps show where the virus is spreading, line diagrams the development and stacks show the difference between different countries. Quite a simple but useful way to use data and visualizations.
