Interpreting Graphics

This document discusses different types of graphics used to summarize information visually. It describes graphs, diagrams, charts, and maps. Graphs like line graphs, bar graphs, circle graphs, and pictographs display quantitative data over time or make comparisons. Diagrams include tree charts, timelines, technical diagrams, and process diagrams that show relationships between parts. Charts consist of verbal and visual elements, such as outline charts, tabular charts, flow charts, and organizational charts. Maps are flat representations of geographical areas that use scales and models.

HOW TO INTERPRET
GRAPHICS
Graphics are illustrated visual forms that summarize information and
identify through words, symbols,, pictures, and drawings. Words and
numbers are utilized to clarify the meaning of drawings and visual
symbols or to present quantitative information in condensed form.

TYPES OF GRAPHIC
MATERIALS
1.GRAPH
2.DIAGRAMS
3. CHARTS
4. MAPS

1.GRAPH-

Useful in displaying data or information that changes continuously


over time. The points on a line graph are connected by a line.
Use to visualize a trend in data over intervals of time.

Common Types of Graph


a) Line Graph
b) Bar graph
c) Circle graph
d) Pictograph

a) Line Graph
- Useful in displaying data or information that changes
continuously over time. The points on a line graph are
connected by a line.
- Use to visualize a trend in data over intervals of time.

b) Bar Graph

Is a graph that represents grouped data with rectangular bars


with lengths proportional to the values that they represent. The
bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally.

They make comparisons between different variables very easy


to see.
Heights of bars are particularly important since they give us
information about specific data.

Imagine you just did a survey of your friends to find which kind of movie
they liked best:
Table: Favorite Type of Movie
Comedy
Action Romance
Drama SciFi

c) Circle Graph
best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not
show changes over time.
also called pie charts, are a type of graph used to represent a part to whole
relationship.
Properties of Circle Graphs:
* They are circular shaped graphs with the entire circle representing the
whole.
*

The circle is then split into parts, or sectors.

Each sector represents a part of the whole.

* Each sector is proportional in size to the amount each sector represents,


therefore it is easy to make generalizations and comparisons.

d) Pictograph
uses pictures or symbols to represent an assigned amount of
data.
The key for a pictograph tells the number that each picture or
symbol represents. A pictograph uses picture symbols to convey
the meaning of statistical information.
Pictographs are often used in writing and graphic systems in
which the characters are to a considerable extent pictorial in
appearance.

2.DIAGRAM

is are drawings made up of lines and symbols which show the


relationships of parts of elements, steps of a process, or key features of an area.
Drawing that illustrates or visually explains a thing or idea by outlining its
component parts and the relationships among them.

Common Types of Diagram


a)TREE CHART
b) TIME LINE
c) TECHNICAL DIAGRAM
d) PROCESS DIAGRAM

a) Tree Chart - a way of representing the


hierarchical nature of a structure in a
graphical form.

b) Time Line-

is a way of displaying a list of events in


chronological order, sometimes described as a project artefact.
[1] It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labelled
with dates alongside itself and usually events labelled on points
where they would have happened

c) Technical Diagram-

also known as drafting. Essential for


communicating ideas in industry and engineering. To make the drawings
easier to understand, people use familiar symbols, perspectives, units of
measurement, notation systems, visual styles, and page layout. Together,
such conventions constitute a visual language, and help to ensure that the
drawing is unambiguous and relatively easy to understand.

d) Process Diagram-

. A process flow diagram (PFD) is a


diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to
indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment.

3. CHARTS -are visuals that summarize data, explain


a process, or describe a set of relationship.They consist
of any combination of verbal and visual elements .

FREQUENTLY USED TYPES OF CHARTS


a) OUTLINE CHART
b) TABULAR CHART
c) FLOW CHART
d) ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

a)Outline Chart -An outline view shows the hierarchical


structure of the document very clearly, as an indented outline.
Outlines are best when you understand the structure of your
information, and when its easy for you to put everything in its
proper place.

b) Tabular Chart -tabular is arranged in a table, with rows and


columns. Sports statistics are usually presented in a tabular format.

c) Flow Chart -

is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm,


workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and
their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic
representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem.

d) Organizational Chart -shows the structure of an organization


and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and positions/jobs.The
organization chart is a diagram showing graphically the relation of one official to
another, or others, of a company. It is also used to show the relation of one
department to another, or others, or of one function of an organization to another,
or others.

4. MAPS

Are flat representation of the earth


geographical areas by means of scales and models.
