Example output

Message: show how sales are split across five regions. Best chart: a horizontal bar chart sorted largest to smallest, because it compares categories clearly. Alternative: a treemap if you also need to show part-to-whole at a glance. Avoid a pie chart with five-plus slices and never start the bar axis above zero.
