This article outlines the major principles for constructing good graphs and visual displays. Several methods for exploring time series data with graphical techniques are given: these include procedures for summarizing the central tendency of data, plotting linear and non‐linear trend, and displaying variability and change in variability over time. We emphasize the need to explore single‐case data thoroughly in order to highlight various components. Graphical analysis should be conducted in tandem with statistical analysis.
