Tired of bar charts? Looking for something more graphically interesting? Maybe look to your friend and mine, the snail, as inspiration to create a new chart: The Snail Chart. Will it replace bar charts? No. Still, it's an interesting exercise in design.

Yet Another Alternative for Bar Charts: Introducing The Snail Chart
