3 Too much explanation within the data rectangle can draw the attention away from the data. From Himanen et al. (2010), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2010.06.00.

5 A Tufte plot. Data from Imboma et al. (2020), http://doi.org/10.3390/insects11040212. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 92
6 An example of a superfluous third dimension, which carries no information at all — the area of the circle diagram is related to the number represented. Notice also the double data presentation. From de Maagd et al. (1999), https://doi.org/10.1016/S1360-1385(98)01356-9.©1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

7 When the axis is broken, we cannot correctly judge the slope of the curve. Source: Fig. 3 from Reckinger et al.

8 When multi-panel figures are presented, their axes must be identical, or at least comparable. Data show the (natural logarithms of) winning times at 20th century Olympic Games at 100m and 400m sprint distances. Image by author (2020). Data modified from Cleveland (1993). 94

8a When identical data points are to be represented, do not combine two forms of data presentation. Fig. 2 from Murray et al.

9 When there are few identical data points, you can draw them touching each other.

10 When numerous data points overlap, drawing them as touching points would grossly distort graphical perception. Modified from Elek et al. (2017), https://doi.org/10.1556/168.2017.18.3.4. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 99
11 Too many data points sitting on the horizontal axis make this graph cluttered. From Godinez-Alvarez et al. (2020), https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.6285. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 99
12 Moving away the horizontal axis increases clarity. Figure from Audusseau et al. (2020), https://doi.org/10.3390/insects11080478. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 100
13 An identical, visually gentle background grid helps to compare the position of the data points on different panels. Figure from Elek et al. (2017), https://doi.org/10.1556/168.2017.18.3.4. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 100
14 Due to the incorrect scale on the horizontal axis, the rate of change cannot be correctly perceived. From Davies et al. (1999), https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2664.1999.00450.x. Reproduced with permission. 102
15 A grouped bar chart. The same type of data from the three countries can be easily compared but a “country profile” is nearly impossible to perceive. From Gausman et al. (2020), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0228435. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 103
16 A stacked bar chart. Due to the constantly shifting baselines, the smaller differences are difficult to interpret. From Masaki et al. (2019), https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.06236. CC-BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0). 103

21 A figure with too few data points. From McMahon et al. (2003), https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1046/j.1365-2656.2003.00685.x. © 2003 British Ecological Society. Reproduced with permission. 113

A figure with two incomparable panels. From Whitfield (2003), https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2656.2003.00672.x.

A cluttered figure with faulty horizontal axis. From Davies et al. (1999), https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2664.1999.00450.x. Reproduced with permission.
The horizontal axis with true-to-time indicates a sudden change in some sites between February and March. Image by author (2020).

26 A figure with a seemingly unavoidable clutter. From Oedekoven & Joern (2000) https://doi.org/10.1890/0012-9658(2000)081, © 2000 by the Ecological Society of America. All rights reserved. Permission for further reuse must be obtained from the relevant holder of the exclusive rights. 120
27 The clutter on Figure 26 can be removed by plotting individual treatments separately. Image by author (2020). 121

29 A multi-way dot plot makes Gestalt recognition possible, as well as comparing microbiome profiles within and between the studied species. Data from Cho & Lee (2020) redrawn. Image by author (2020). 123
