Bar Graph01:07

Bar Graph

A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...
Pie Chart01:04

Pie Chart

A pie chart (or a pie graph) is a circular graphical chart or a pictorial representation of categorical data. It is divided into slices of pie each indicating numerical proportions. It is also used to show the relative sizes of data in a single chart.
In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. Some real-world examples that can be depicted using pie charts include marks obtained by students...
Review and Preview01:13

Review and Preview

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...
Manipulation and Analysis01:21

Manipulation and Analysis

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...
Survival Curves01:18

Survival Curves

Survival curves are graphical representations that depict the survival experience of a population over time, offering an intuitive way to track the proportion of individuals who remain event-free at each time point. These curves are widely used in fields such as medicine, public health, and reliability engineering to visualize and compare survival probabilities across different groups or conditions.
The Kaplan-Meier estimator is the most common method for constructing survival curves. This...
Time-Series Graph00:54

Time-Series Graph

A time-series graph is a line graph with repeated measurements taken at successive intervals of time. It is also called a time series chart. To construct a time-series graph, one must look at both pieces of a paired data set. The horizontal axis is used to plot the time increments, and the vertical axis is used to plot the values of the variable that one is measuring. By using the axes in this way, each point on the graph will correspond to time and a measured quantity. The points on the graph...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Visualization
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Data visualization is increasingly used in journalism and other fields to tell stories.
  • These 'data stories' present unique challenges and opportunities compared to traditional storytelling.
  • The integration of visualizations can sometimes replace written narratives entirely.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the design space of narrative visualizations.
  • To identify and characterize distinct genres of narrative visualization.
  • To propose design strategies for effective narrative visualization.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of narrative visualization.
  • Analysis of case studies from news media and visualization research.
  • Characterization of design differences, interactivity, and messaging.

Main Results:

  • Identification of distinct genres within narrative visualization.
  • Characterization of the design space based on authorial control versus reader exploration.
  • Framework for understanding the balance between imposed narrative flow and interactive discovery.

Conclusions:

  • Narrative visualization offers a powerful new medium for storytelling.
  • Understanding the interplay between authorial intent and reader interaction is key to effective design.
  • The proposed framework provides insights for journalistic storytelling and educational media development.
