CHAPTER

Do I Preserve the Axis on My Chart, or Do I Label My Data Directly?

Should i keep the axis on my graph, or label my data directly with data labels? It depends. What level of specificity does your audience need to have with the data you are going to sh if the specific numeric values are important, then you may want to consider labelling the data directly. If you'd rather your audience focus on the shape of the data, or relationships between different aspects of the data that you're showing, you don't want to clutter your grafh with the data labels. And instead, can consider preserving the axis, so your audience has that there to get a sense of general magnitudes - but it's not cluttering up your grah directly.
