What this helps you see
Add an image layer when a logo or contextual image helps identify the report. Keep image decoration separate from the marks that encode the data.
Free example data and exact column mapping
The figure uses the downloadable CSV with the exact column mapping below. Public snapshots retain their data notes and transformations. Constructed teaching scenarios are identified in the method notes; they are not customer results. Editorial layouts may combine comparisons from the same records.
The free example contains 12 observations and these columns: Country, Population (m). Keep the header row and preserve one observation per row. The table below shows the first records; the CSV retains the full example.
| Country | Population (m) |
|---|---|
| India | 1438.069596 |
| China | 1410.71 |
| USA | 336.755052 |
| Indonesia | 281.190067 |
| Pakistan | 247.504495 |
| Nigeria | 227.882945 |

- Use image controls to upload a supported image and select its layer on the canvas.
- Adjust position, dimensions and available crop or opacity settings through the image inspector.
- Check the final export and retain source and image attribution where required.

How to read the example
Compare positions and values with the table, then inspect the legend or size encoding where used. A visual pattern is a description of the displayed observations. It does not by itself identify a cause, justify extrapolation, or repair missing data.
Limits and common mistakes
Uploaded images use configured server storage and account quotas. Use only images you are allowed to publish, and verify that a logo never obscures the chart.
What is free and what needs an account?
Reading this guide and downloading its CSV and chart images are free. Datamon currently has no paid checkout or subscription plans in this deployment. Creating and saving an editable visualization requires Google sign-in. Provider-backed AI, cloud analysis, publishing and video depend on configured services; this guide does not promise unlimited free connected services.
Questions before you start
Can I visualize images and report branding with a free example?
Yes. The CSV and preview images on this page are free to download. Follow the field mapping and steps above. Sign in to create and save the editable project; connected-service availability is separate.
Can I replace the example with my own data?
Yes. Preserve the observation unit and the required numeric, category or geographic fields. Recompute any derived values, update the unit and source, and compare the output with known rows before sharing.
