The various embodiments described herein include methods and devices for interactive data visualization. In one aspect, a method is performed at a device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display. The method includes displaying a first chart, where the first chart concurrently displays a first dimension and a first measure, the display of the first dimension including a plurality of categories and the display of the first measure including a plurality of visual marks corresponding to the plurality of categories. The method further includes: (i) detecting a first touch input; and (ii) in response to detecting the first touch input: (a) adding a second dimension through an animated transition, the second dimension having a second plurality of categories; and (b) transforming a visual mark into a second plurality of visual marks via an animated transition, the second plurality of visual marks corresponding to the second plurality of categories.
