When should I use the various types of diagrams?

Organization charts show how chart elements are related and ranked. Pyramid diagrams show how diagram elements build on each other. Cycle diagrams illustrate procedures with uninterrupted cycles. Venn diagrams identify areas of similarity between diagram elements. Radial diagrams show how diagram elements relate to a central element. Target diagrams show progression toward a goal.
