24
Q

Purpose map

A

helps with design of visualisation, target audience
decides whether visualisation is: Exhibatory, exploratory, or explanatory

25
Q

Accessibility

A

What data can be interpreted from a graph, who has access to that data

26
Q

Functional harmony

A

Data that is related should have similar formatting, font, aesthetic etc.

Data about the data, provides context / enhances understanding

28
Q

Continuous

A

data that can be an infinite number of values within a certain range
e.g. temperature, time, weight

For when memory is a limitation

36
Q

Complex

A

Complexity is the amount of information displayed in a graph

37
