The classic types of misleading graphs include
• Graphs where the vertical axis does not start at zero. A line graph or a
scatter plot graph should have its origin at point 0 on the y-axis and
should increment in even steps to eschew the effects of distorting the
plot (Smith, 2012).
• Graphs which have not been labelled properly on the various axes
therefore one may not have the idea of what the graph represents.
Proper data labelling ought to be provided to eschew ambiguity of
the graph. Furthermore, an even scale should be provided for both
axes for clear depiction of the information being illustrated (Moore,
2006).
