+### 7a. A chart's LINKING marks, against the marks they link
+
+**Collect**, for any chart whose meaning lives in the relationship between marks rather than in
+each mark alone — a bridge, a slope, a connected dot plot — the size of the CONNECTOR and the size
+of the thing it connects, in the same axis.

+- **A connector sized by the GAP between bars disappears as the bars get wider.** In a vertical
+  bridge the connector spans column-to-column, so a card wide enough for fat columns leaves a
+  linking mark a few pixels long: measured on one, 108px bars with an 8px gap drew 8×1px
+  connectors in the lightest grey. Every bar is placed correctly, the arithmetic is exact, and the
+  chart reads as unlinked blocks floating at unrelated heights — because the only thing saying
+  they are one running total is 7% the width of what it links, at the palette's faintest ink.
+- **The signature is a chart that measures perfectly and cannot be read.** Bar heights
+  proportional to a common scale, a baseline present, and a reader who still asks what the
+  picture means. So this probe is worth running whenever a chart is reported as confusing and the
+  value encoding checks out.
+- **Compare orientations before blaming the data.** The same component's other orientation may
+  give the connector the full row gap to run in — one measured 1×24px where the other gave 8×1px
+  — which is both the diagnosis and, often, the fix: give the chart the shape whose connectors
+  have room, rather than the shape that fills the wider slot.
