CH: 4- Data Handling and Representation
Sub Topic: Artistic and aesthetic consideration
Artistic and aesthetic aspects one can consider when preparing visual
presentations of data to make them more interesting and effective. First, when
making a visual presentation of data such as a pictograph or bar graph, it is
important to make it fit in the intended space; this can be controlled, for
example, by choosing the scale appropriately, as we have seen earlier. It is also
desirable to make the data presentation visually appealing and easy-to-
understand, so that the intended audience appreciates the information being
conveyed. Let us consider an example. Here is a table naming the tallest
mountain on each continent, along with the height of each mountain in
meters.
A) How much taller is Mount Everest than Mount Kosciuszko?
B) Are Mount Denali and Mount Kilimanjaro very different in
height?
This is not so easy to quickly discern from a large table of numbers.
