Chart Rectification

Chart rectification is the process of correcting a misaligned or distorted chart so that its data accurately reflects real-world relationships. This involves adjusting the chart’s scales, axes, or dimensions to ensure measurements are proportional and meaningful. Rectification helps viewers interpret the data correctly, especially when the original chart may have been skewed, manipulated, or based on inaccurate information. Essentially, it’s about restoring trust in the visual so that it accurately represents the underlying data or phenomenon it aims to illustrate.
