It’s important to choose the best type of chart for communicating insights. Many beautiful and engaging ways to plot charts are available today. Huge databases with stunning visual intelligence can display data that whooshes across screens, unveiling clickable layers of data beneath it. As data sets grow ever more vast, charts are getting more complex and sexy. This toolkit will introduce you first to the simpler annotation methods—formatting parts of a chart—and grows towards more complicated annotation methods—adding information to a chart.
