Reading the chart

What this example shows

  • Weekday usage is roughly double weekend usage — a clear signal of a work-hours product.
  • Thursday peaks and Friday falls off early, a pattern easy to miss in a table.
  • Arc length is harder to judge than bar length. Use a plain bar chart when you need precision.
