X-axis gridlines only and zero line if needed.
Gridlines should be behind the bars.
Range plots do not need horizontal guides.
Lines should be evenly spaced, with enough space to accommodate category labels. Category labels should be centrally aligned to each line.
The centre of each category should be 40px apart.
Right align category labels, left align group titles if applicable.
Use direct labelling unless there's a particularly high number of data points.
They should have a standard legend.
