Dot Plot
Dots and lollipops that show each value with little ink.
The idea
Dot plots, dumbbells and lollipops give the eye a clean position to compare, with far less ink than bars. Connect two dots to show a gap or a change between two points. They work well for many items and for values that do not start at zero.
Where to use it
- Before and after comparisons
- Gaps between two groups, such as men and women
- Long ranked lists of countries or companies
- Arrows that show change between two years
