Notes#
This could conditionally pass depending on how you view it. I’m not sure if the plotting interface is responsible for also providing explanations for each chart’s purpose and how to read, use, and interpret it. Users do need this, and I’m not sure where in our testing this will apply so I want to reiterate it here.
