Graphing Challenge?
How can you display your team's Total Cash flow, the potential
revenue from available resources, your population and your
environmental score (starts at 100%) and your distribution of resources
all on a single graph?
Assuming we are tracking this information over 100 years, what type of
graph is most suitable to display this information. (Bar, Line, Pie.. etc)

What software could you use to create this type of graph?


How will you organize your x and y axes to display your different data?
