qualitative measures of performance (ex. low - medium - high or poor -
satisfactory - good). These qualitative labels are displayed as varying
intensities of a single color from dark (low/bad/negative) to light
(high/good/positive).

Please read the package vignette, ["Introduction to bullet charts"](https://acdivocatech.github.io/bulletchartr/articles/intro-to-bullet-charts.html) for a more detailed overview!

## Future direction

Currently this package is geared more toward non-R using M&E people (therefore, the Excel file input alongside a dataframe input), however as we develop this package further we want to go towards being able to make the `bullet_chart` functions more customizable for general use cases.
