Tips for Effective Multiple Line Graphs
Limit the number of lines
Aim for 3-5 lines maximum. Too many lines make the chart hard to read.
Use distinct colors
Assign a unique color to each line. Consider colorblind-friendly palettes.
Label clearly
Use descriptive names in your legend. Avoid generic labels like "Series 1."
