What are some alternative methods to the Gauge chart for analyzing complex data distributions?

Some alternative methods to the Gauge chart for analyzing complex data distributions include Histograms, Box Plots, Scatter Plots, and Heat Maps. Histograms are useful for visualizing the distribution of data over a continuous interval. Box Plots provide a summary of the data distribution including the median, quartiles, and potential outliers. Scatter Plots are great for visualizing the relationship between two variables. Heat Maps can be used to represent complex data with variations in color in two dimensions.
