Line chart is inappropriate for unordered attributes i.e. categorical attributes. This is mainly because categorical attributes can be reordered/sorted arbitrarily, thereby changing the line pattern. Instead, we must use bar chart for categorical attributes.
Spatial attributes can be visualized using spatial representations like maps.
Divergent quantitative attributes can be represented using heat maps (divergent color scales).
