Human creativity is virtually limitless. But:
- You don't vary color by data point.
- You don't force the eyes to a pendular movement if you can avoid it.
- You don't use a legend when you can use axis labels.
- You can't have a residual category that large.
Bloggers don't seem to learn, even with a good teacher.
