Consider the Chart Audience and Purpose
Understand who will be viewing the charts and for what purpose. Different projection settings may be more suitable for some charting types for example perspective should be your default choice if you want to create realistic 3D charts.
Perspective
Use perspective projection when you want to emphasize depth and create a more realistic representation of 3D objects. It's suitable for visualizations where understanding spatial relationships is important.
Orthogonal (Isometric)
Opt for orthogonal projection when maintaining accurate proportions and uniform scaling across all axes is crucial. This projection type is often used in technical drawings or when precise measurement comparisons are needed.
Orthogonal Half
This projection type can be a good compromise between perspective and orthogonal views. It provides some depth perception while still maintaining more accurate proportions compared to perspective.
Balance Depth and Proportion
If using perspective projection, be mindful of how much depth effect is applied. Too much perspective can distort proportions and make comparisons difficult. Adjust the projection settings to strike a balance between depth and accurate representation.
