Chart Anatomy: Axes, Labels, Scales, Legends, and Annotations

By the end of this module you can name every part of a chart and use each deliberately - including the axis that should start at zero and the one that must not.

Units

1. Unit 03.00: What a truncated axis does to a difference
2. Unit 03.01: Labels that carry units, scope and date
3. Unit 03.02: Linear and log, and when each one lies
4. Unit 03.03: Legends, and why direct labelling beats them
5. Unit 03.04: Annotation as the shortest path to the point
