Do

Do be creative with your legends and labels

Possibilities:

  • Label lines individually (Gregor Aisch, Doing the Line Charts Right)
  • Rotate bars if the category names are long (Cole Nussbaumer, my penchant for horizontal bar charts)
  • Put value labels on bars to preserve the clean lines of the bar lengths
