Choosing the right chart

The chart type encodes your claim. Comparison, distribution, composition, and relationship each have a form that reads instantly and several that mislead.

What this lesson covers

• Match the chart form to the question being asked
• Remove decoration that competes with the data
• Avoid axis choices that overstate a difference
