What you'll learn

Choose a chart from the question rather than from a menu of chart types
Explain why position and length are read accurately and area and angle are not
Build the common charts straight from a DataFrame
Label axes and ticks so a reader does not have to guess
Use small multiples instead of overloading one chart with lines
Say when a truncated axis is fair and when it exaggerates
Explain what a dual axis invents, and what to do instead
Notice when aggregation has hidden the finding
Use colour to carry meaning, and make a chart a colourblind reader can use
Annotate a chart so the point survives without you standing next to it
