Graphs may be misleading through being excessively complex or poorly constructed. Even when constructed to accurately display the characteristics of their data, graphs can be subject to different interpretation. ... Graphs created with omitted data remove information from which to base a conclusion. ... In financial reports, negative returns or data that do not correlate a positive outlook may be excluded to create a more favorable visual impression." [Misleading graph. Wikipedia] The chart example "Scatter plot with missing categories" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Scatter Diagrams solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
