Arrow charts make change visible at a glance by pairing a starting point with an endpoint connected by a directional arrow. They're ideal for showing before-and-after comparisons, tracking shifts over time, and communicating both magnitude and direction in a single mark, making them a powerful choice whenever movement is the story you need to tell.

Maybe the best part about them is that they're eye-catching and fun to look at! 🎨
