TODAY’S DATA LENS

Put the name next to the line.

Square Today’s Data Lens card comparing two identical two-line charts: the first uses a separate legend and the second places Series A and Series B labels directly beside the line endpoints.

Observation

Both charts show the same two series. The first uses a separate legend; the second labels each line at its endpoint. ONS guidance says direct labelling is best where possible, including for line charts.

A small label saves a return trip.
