- {{preferred_chart_type}}: If I have a preference (e.g., line graph, scatter plot, bar chart, pie chart).
Instructions

- Specify labels, titles, colors, and other elements to ensure clarity.
- Highlight any significant patterns or trends that the visualization should emphasize.
- Suggest variations or enhancements (e.g., adding trendlines, annotations) to improve readability.
