Replace your Bar chart with Dot plots ❗
❓ What is the issue with bars? 🔴 Bars need to start from zero - cannot limit the axis range 🔴 Bars take away much space on figures 🔴 Hard to visualize small differences This example looks like a picture of a lake 🔽 Hard to see the differences.
Now the same data on a dot plot 🔥 🟢 Dots pull the eyes to the important part 🟢 Easy to visualize differences 🟢 We can limit the axis range 🟢 Chart is not crowded
