Visualization 2

Expanding your graphical repertoire

In the second session we illustrate a repertoire of chart types and how they are suited to specific data structures and answering specific types of questions.

The session should encourage you to:

• Explicitly define the type of variables in your data
• Suit the chart design to the variables you have
• Iteratively explore the message conveyed by different designs

Materials

• Download PDF worksheets for think-write-share activities. Hard copy seems to work best for many people.
