**Parameters:**
- `value`: String value to encode in the QR code.
- `ecc`: Error correction level ('low', 'medium', 'quartile', 'high', default: 'low')
- `on`: Character for filled modules (default: '⬛')
- `off`: Character for empty modules (default: '⬜')

## Tips and Best Practices

1. **Choose appropriate widths**: Longer bars (width 20-30) work well for dashboards, shorter bars (width 10-15) for compact reports
2. **Use thresholds for status indicators**: Perfect for showing health, performance, or risk levels
3. **Combine with regular metrics**: Text plots complement, don't replace, numeric values
4. **Consider your audience**: ASCII styles work everywhere, emoji styles are more visually appealing but require Unicode support
5. **Leverage density plots for distributions**: Great for showing data patterns, outliers, and distributions
