Chart design

Choose a visual form that fits the comparison, then give the evidence room to be read. This collection covers chart selection, focused infographic composition, and common mistakes in scales, labels, and captions. Use the examples to review an existing graphic or plan a new one. The goal is a clear relationship between the numbers and the visual message.

Begin with the question you want to answer, then inspect the matching example and its source values. These guides use invented data to make definitions and calculations reproducible. Read the visible measure, unit, period, and limitation together; no chart example here is a live market quote or a personal recommendation. The related topic links below offer different routes through the same editorial library.
