Information design Information design is the practice of presenting information in a way that fosters efficient and effective understanding of it. The term has come to be used specifically for graphic design for displaying information effectively, rather than just attractively or for artistic expression. Information design is closely related to the field of data visualization and is often taught as part of graphic design courses.[1] Etymology[edit] The term 'information design' emerged as a multidisciplinary area of study in the 1970s. In 1982, Edward Tufte produced a book on information design called The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. The term information graphics tends to be used by those primarily concerned with diagramming and display of quantitative information. In technical communication, information design refers to creating an information structure for a set of information aimed at specified audiences.

La réalité des prises des décisions politiques, et du rôle que peut jouer la science Il faut davantage d'informations ouvertes sur les rouages du processus qui conduit à la prise de décisions politiques pour comprendre la façon dont l'information scientifique est présentée.. Vous aurez du mal à trouver un décideur politique présent aux réunions universitaires. Ainsi, quand une ancienne fonctionnaire britannique a pris la parole au cours du symposium STEPS à l'Université de Sussex le mois dernier pour donner son opinion sur la place de l'information scientifique dans la sphère politique mes oreilles se sont dressées. La plupart des scientifiques ne savent pas réellement comment participer au processus de prises des décisions politiques La première étape pour participer plus efficacement à la prise de décisions politiques est d'avoir un meilleur aperçu de ce processus L'information scientifique est plus attractive quand elle porte en elle une histoire claire et pertinente J'exagère -- mais pas tant que ça. Mais les scientifiques sont-ils prêts à écouter et à apprendre?
Information graphics Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.[1][2] They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends.[3][4] The process of creating infographics can be referred to as data visualization, information design, or information architecture.[2] Overview[edit] Infographics have been around for many years and recently the proliferation of a number of easy-to-use, free tools have made the creation of infographics available to a large segment of the population. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have also allowed for individual infographics to be spread among many people around the world. In newspapers, infographics are commonly used to show the weather, as well as maps, site plans, and graphs for statistical data. "Graphical displays should: Graphics reveal data. History[edit] Early[edit]
Инфографика Инфогра́фика (от лат. informatio — осведомление, разъяснение, изложение; и др.-греч. γραφικός — письменный, от γράφω — пишу) — это графический способ подачи информации, данных и знаний, целью которого является быстро и чётко преподносить сложную информацию[1][2]. Одна из форм графического и коммуникационного дизайна. Спектр её применения огромен: география, журналистика, образование, статистика, технические тексты. Подходы[править | править код] Инфографика — визуализация данных или идей, целью которой является донесение сложной информации до аудитории быстрым и понятным образом[1][2]. Существуют два противоположных подхода к дизайну инфографики, расходящиеся в вопросах значимости для инфографики эстетики и украшений. Инфографика может использоваться для создания ложного представления о статистических данных и манипулирования общественным мнением.

Infographics news Is Data Visualization Useful? You’ll Have to Prove It. Great data visualization is hard to measure: you can’t prove you have a good chart. Unless you can convince your employer to deploy at least two different formats/layouts and are able to compare results, you can say “this is a good chart” but that’s an act of faith, not an act of science. It’s True Because It Rhymes Information visualization experts like to evaluate a chart based on its compliance to some more or less accepted standards (Tufte’s data-ink ratio, for example). I know, it’s not easy to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of good displays. This is a true story: users wanted to evaluate sales territories, one at a time. If your chart is doing a good job at helping people, no one will actually be aware of the chart’s role at making sense of the data. When Stephen Few asks the readers “true stories about the benefits of data visualization” that’s almost an admission of impotence. Opening the Pandora Box (Wow, that’s depressing…) .

Introduction to Circos, Features and Uses // CIRCOS Circular Genome Data Visualization Walrus - Graph Visualization Tool Source Code Available The source code to Walrus is now available under the GNU GPL. You may download the source code below. Description Walrus is a tool for interactively visualizing large directed graphs in three-dimensional space. Walrus computes its layout based on a user-supplied spanning tree. Walrus uses 3D hyperbolic geometry to display graphs under a fisheye-like distortion. Walrus is being developed by Young Hyun at CAIDA. Applicability Please note that Walrus currently has the following requirements, restrictions, or limitations which may render it unsuitable for a given problem domain or dataset: Only directed graphs are supported.Only connected graphs with reachable nodes are supported. Galleries The following galleries show graphs of various sizes and complexity.

Tree structure A tree structure showing the possible hierarchical organization of an encyclopedia. The original Encyclopédie used a tree diagram to show the way in which its subjects were ordered. A tree structure is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree, even though the chart is generally upside down compared to an actual tree, with the "root" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom. Terminology and properties[edit] The names of relationships between nodes are modeled after family relations. A node's "parent" is a node one step higher in the hierarchy (i.e. closer to the root node) and lying on the same branch." In the example, "encyclopedia" is the parent of "science" and "culture", its children. Examples of tree structures[edit] Representing trees[edit] There are many ways of visually representing tree structures. Classical node-link diagrams[edit] Nested sets[edit]
