`show_chart`

I think it would be more unambiguous if it was not symmetric.

Or something else maybe. Anyway, I think there's room for improvement.

There's also `multiline_chart` .

I think that the circle is kind of confusing too. Usually, charts represent a function. Which circle isn't. Replace it with a parabola? Or a cubic function?
