5.13. Visualization Tools
A slide presentation with histograms and other images is usually much more appreciated and effective than a text presentation on the same subject. Graphics and animations, when appropriately rendered, can decrease the time required for knowledge workers to grasp complex processes and allow nonexperts to verify the accuracy of relationships that would have been unwieldy to describe with tables of data.
Simulation-based animations are especially good at imparting the dynamic relationship between variables. Examples of visualization tools range from three-dimensional graphic packages to simple pie chart and histogram output from spreadsheets and other traditional office programs.
