I'd like your thoughts on this graph.

This one time I got the bright idea to include a USGS Topo Quad map; never again!

I think it is very cool. I would hate trying to explain it to Achmed or Raveesh from the call center who is doing the quality review on your report.

WTF is up with Whitlney? I see you've bracketed, but
looks like you've got significant variation. You one of
those chartists?

Elliott, are you an anti-chartite?

I dig graphs. A great graph should tell the story without having to explain what is going on.

Great effort "Meta".......but does it photocopy ok in black and white? You might want to consider use dots, dashes, and crosses in lieu of colour (correct spelling of colour per Queens English) for that reason. Also the reformating the grey backgound to "None" will make it jump out more against a white backgound (Just a suggestion) Excellant work.

Too confusing, way beyond what underwriters and reviewers IN MY MARKET would want or understand.

You are probably right. It looks too much like the chapter on "Measurement, Data and Graphing" that my son covered last week in his fourth-grade math book. They even had to figure out means, medians, and modes. Oh, wait a minute, they only went up to "double-line graphs." The opening post has more more than two lines on the graph.
