ggplot gallery: slope graph #75

Definitely like the labels next to the points instead of in a legend.

This looks good but make colors accessible

I would typically make this accessible and more useful by making all lines gray except for one. Is this what you want me to do?

Hey David, I checked with the data viz reviewer on this one and this is what they said:

Yeah, making sure that there's enough contrast between the text color and background color of the circles. So the white on orange and white on the light minty green don't have enough contrast to pass the test.

David how about this:

keep the top two groups as they are - so E and B
make the rest of the groups an OMNI grey
add a title that that is of the approx form ~"Group B decreased from 2022 to 23 while Group E increased" - with 'Group B decreased' and "Group E increased" color coded to match their corresponding circles and lines in the figure?

How's this?

One thing I had to do was make the title text a slightly lighter shade of gray. I think this is a change we should make globally in cases where we want to add color coding for groups in the title. With the default gray in the title, it's hard to see the difference in the colors that represent Groups B and E.

Let me know what you think.
