Title (above the graph): INSERT THIS GRAPH INTO ANY REPORT ON ANY TOPIC

The panel shows a bar graph.
Y-axis label: bars in this bar graph (numbered 5, 10, 15)
X-axis label: cm of x-axis (numbered 5, 10, 15)

The bars form a self-referential staircase: the height of each bar equals its own position number in the graph, so the bars rise in a straight diagonal line from 1 up to 16. Bars alternate between red and tan coloring.

Votey:
A hand-drawn pie chart. About one quarter of the circle (the upper-right wedge) is filled with diagonal stripes (hatching).
Caption to the right (with a small striped-box legend marker): [striped box] indicates portion of pie chart with stripes.

A hand-drawn bar graph titled "INSERT THIS GRAPH INTO ANY REPORT ON ANY TOPIC." The y-axis is labeled "bars in this bar graph" and the x-axis is labeled "cm of x-axis," both running up to about 15-16. The bars are completely self-referential: each bar's height equals its own count, so they climb in a perfectly straight diagonal staircase from 1 to 16, alternating red and tan. The graph measures nothing but itself. The votey is a hand-drawn pie chart with about one quarter (the upper-right wedge) filled with diagonal stripes; a legend beside it shows a small striped box reading "indicates portion of pie chart with stripes" — the chart, like the bar graph, only describes its own appearance.
