Here are 5 design tips for creating optimal column charts. The tips are based on a study conducted which uses eye-tracking technology to get insights on how we read and understand charts (see link below).

This is how eye-tacking tests are done: The participant is presented with a question which they need to answer by looking at the visualization on the screen while the camera is tracking their eye movements. Two parameters are measured. One is effectiveness – which means was the answer correct and number two is efficiency, which means how fast were they able to respond.
