Watch out for inconsistent scales. If you'recomparing two or more charts, be sure they
use the same scale. If they don't have thesame scale, be aware of the differences andhow they might trick your eye.
Be sure that all your classes are equal. For
example, don't mix weeks and months, yearsand half-years, or newly-invented categorieswith ones that have trails of data behind them.
Be sure that the interval between classes is
consistent. For example, if you want tocompare current data that goes month bymonth to older data that is only available forevery six months, either use current data forevery six months or show the older data with
blanks for the missing months.
