Points, Lines and Arrows in Statistical Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Widely used statistical graphs (such as line graphs and bar graphs) are usually accompanied by graphical entities other than the graph proper. Those graphical cues, such as point marks and arrows serve for communicative purposes by bringing certain aspects to the foreground over the others. The present study discusses the results of an experimental investigation, in which the participants produced sketches of graphical cues on different types of graphs, given sentential expressions of states and processes. The outcomes of the study have the potential for serving as guidelines for the development of software tools that produce graphical cues.

Towards a systematic understanding of graphical cues in communication through statistical graphs
Statistical graphs—in particular, line graphs and bar graphs—are efficient means of communication in a wide range of non-expert settings. In communication settings, statistical graphs do not only serve as visualizations of individual data points but also provide visual access to various aspects of the information contained in data. Moreover, specific types of graphs are better means for providi...
متن کاملMonads and Graphs ∗
The simplicial category ∆ plays many roles all over mathematics. In one of these roles it is a monad freely generated by a single object (see [9], Section 3, [2], Section 4, and references therein). That ∆ is isomorphic to this free monad may be understood as a coherence result connecting the syntax brought by the equational presentation of monads and the semantics given by the order preserving...
متن کاملGraph-Theoretic Algorithms Project Report Trapezoid Graphs
Trapezoid graphs are intersection graphs of trapezoids between two horizontal lines. They generalize both interval graphs and permutation graphs. Interval graphs are intersection graphs of intervals on the real line. Permutation graphs are intersection graphs of straight lines between two horizontal lines. They can be represented by a permutation diagram consisting of a pair of horizontal lines...
متن کاملGranger-causality graphs for multivariate time series
In this paper, we discuss the properties of mixed graphs which visualize causal relationships between the components of multivariate time series. In these Granger-causality graphs, the vertices, representing the components of the time series, are connected by arrows according to the Granger-causality relations between the variables whereas lines correspond to contemporaneous conditional associa...
متن کاملA new approach for assessing stability of rock slopes considering centroids of weak zones
The intersection lines between discontinuity surfaces and their intersection points on the visible surfaces of any engineering structure may be the instability indicators. This paper describes a new approach to modelling the intersecting lines and points that would provide the first evaluation of any instability in an engineering structure characterized by the failure modes. In this work, the i...
