# Choosing the Right Plot Type
A guide to selecting the appropriate visualization for your data.
## Decision Tree
```mermaid
graph TD
A[What type of data?] --> B[Continuous]
A --> C[Categorical]
A --> D[Distribution]
B --> E[Line Plot]
C --> F[Bar Chart]
D --> G[Histogram]
```
## Plot Type Cheat Sheet

## Canvas Trait
```rust
pub trait Canvas {
fn bounds(&self) -> Bounds;
fn draw_line(&mut self, ...);
fn draw_circle(&mut self, ...);
// ...

## Success Metrics
Documentation is 100% when:
- ✅ Every plot type has:
- [ ] Tutorial section
- [ ] API reference entry
- [ ] At least one real-world example
- [ ] Visual gallery showcase
- ✅ Common workflows covered:
- [ ] First plot (5 min)
- [ ] Multiple series
- [ ] Customization
- [ ] Real data integration
- ✅ Advanced topics documented:
- [ ] Performance optimization
- [ ] Custom backends
- [ ] Integration with other tools
- ✅ All 98 example images showcased
- ✅ Every doc page has:
- [ ] Clear title and description
- [ ] Code examples

## Quick Wins
To get to 100% fastest:
1. **Copy-paste approach** (4 hours total):
- Use existing examples as templates
- Adapt for each missing page
- Focus on coverage, not perfection
2. **AI-assisted** (2 hours):
- Generate drafts with Claude/GPT
- Review and adjust
- Add code examples from existing
3. **Community** (ongoing):
- Mark pages as "Help Wanted"
- Accept contributions
- Improve iteratively
## After 100%
### Maintenance
- [ ] Keep examples updated with new versions
- [ ] Add new real-world dataset examples
- [ ] Respond to documentation issues
- [ ] Improve based on user feedback
### Enhancements
- [ ] Video tutorials
