&lt;div&gt;=== Original Graphic ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sotpg2.jpg]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What&#039;s for dinner&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Critics ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A first look at the graphic &amp;quot;What&#039;s for dinner&amp;quot; does not reveal a lot about the information presented in the graphic. The title, which should summarize the graphic in short has nothing to do with the message of the image. To get the meaning you first have to read the small printing underneath the title, explaining about the connection between the destruction of the rainforest to provide more land for the grazing of cattle. Even now, knowing what is supposed to be shown, one could start thinking about the advantages of food production, having in mind that a high percentage of the worlds population is starving and in the need of food. This feeling is reinforced looking at the delicious steaks being shown in the graphic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other side the destruction of a vast amount of rainforest does not evoke any compassion at all. It is displayed by a sphere, which is at first filled with about 1/3rd and getting a bit less filled in the other representations, but only coming close to 1/4th, which does not seam like a noticeable loss of rainforest. Also it is not obvious what the sphere stands for. A blue sphere is more likely to be recognized as Earth in general than a specific country. Overall the message that is supposed to be sent with this graphic is confusing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The graphic contains mostly non-data-ink, there are a lot of images, lines and text which are not necessary to present the data in question. It is very confusing to have a change in scale, regarding the time periods between the data. The fact that the first time segment spans 20 years and the second time segment only spans 15 years makes it hard to take the graphic seriously. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To really get the information, one has to tilt his or her head in order to find out which scales the data is measured in, which is in fact in two different scales, metric tons on the one hand, square kilometres one the other. The labelling of the two different kinds of data is not only written vertically, but it also does not stick out as important. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each group of data has a different type of labelling, giving information about the amount of data shown in each picture. The labelling of the steaks easily gets lost in the big picture. This is mainly because it is written in the same colour as the steaks, but is much smaller as they are. The labelling of the rainforest is more obvious than the labelling of the steaks. This is due to the fact, that the numbers are directly on the spheres and the color is a bright red which easily sticks out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The used image representation is, as discussed before poorly chosen. The units of steaks shown in the images stand in no connection with the data they are supposed to represent. There is a flag sticking in one of the steaks for no obvious reason, which is useless non-data-ink. And the drastic change of existing rainforest is not obvious using a pie diagram, because this form of representation does not make it easy to notice the change over time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Changed Graphic ver 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cowsntrees_ver2.jpg|600px]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Brazilian rainforest areas replaced by cattle farmland&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Correction ver 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the above changed graphic the destruction of the rainforest has been emphasized, using two line charts. The horizontal part is the tie (1970-2005) and at the vertical part there are 2 plots which show the growth of the beef production and the decrease of the rainforest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We changed the units to square kilometers and metric tons for easier comparison. Furthermore with the use of line charts the message of the chart is very easy to get -&amp;gt; more beef means less rainforest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We removed all unnecessary pie charts to reduce the non data ink and added a title which explains the graphic more than the old title.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Cowsntrees.jpg|600px]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Brazilian rainforest areas replaced by cattle farmland&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Correction ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the above changed graphic the destruction of the rainforest has been emphasized, using pictograms instead of a pie chart. Though this might stand in conflict with the &amp;quot;use-less-non-data&amp;quot; philosophy in order to make the graphic simple and easy to understand, it is easier to get the message of the graphic at first glance without having to look at the caption. To focus on the destroyed areas, the lost trees have been marked with red crosses rather than leaving them out. This way the message greenpeace might have intended for the graphic should be delivered in a more obvious and direct way. The lines in the changed graphic were used to make the differentiation of the different years more obvious. The text of the graphic was unified and adapted to the importance of its information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of data could not be fixed, but with using the year dates as titles instead of a timeline the difference between them should be less bothering. The number of trees as well as the number of cows stand for precise units: one tree represents 100.000 square kilometres and one cow represents 500.000 metric tons. Using parts of the respective pictograms should approximate the exact values as good as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over all, it was tried to keep close to the style of the original graphic, which looks like it had the purpose to be used for public relations reasons, but changed to optimize the visual information using the data at hand.&lt;br /&gt;

What&#039;s for dinner&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Critics ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A first look at the graphic &amp;quot;What&#039;s for dinner&amp;quot; does not reveal a lot about the information presented in the graphic. The title, which should summarize the graphic in short has nothing to do with the message of the image. To get the meaning you first have to read the small printing underneath the title, explaining about the connection between the destruction of the rainforest to provide more land for the grazing of cattle. Even now, knowing what is supposed to be shown, one could start thinking about the advantages of food production, having in mind that a high percentage of the worlds population is starving and in the need of food. This feeling is reinforced looking at the delicious steaks being shown in the graphic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other side the destruction of a vast amount of rainforest does not evoke any compassion at all. It is displayed by a sphere, which is at first filled with about 1/3rd and getting a bit less filled in the other representations, but only coming close to 1/4th, which does not seam like a noticeable loss of rainforest. Also it is not obvious what the sphere stands for. A blue sphere is more likely to be recognized as Earth in general than a specific country. Overall the message that is supposed to be sent with this graphic is confusing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The graphic contains mostly non-data-ink, there are a lot of images, lines and text which are not necessary to present the data in question. It is very confusing to have a change in scale, regarding the time periods between the data. The fact that the first time segment spans 20 years and the second time segment only spans 15 years makes it hard to take the graphic seriously. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To really get the information, one has to tilt his or her head in order to find out which scales the data is measured in, which is in fact in two different scales, metric tons on the one hand, square kilometres one the other. The labelling of the two different kinds of data is not only written vertically, but it also does not stick out as important. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each group of data has a different type of labelling, giving information about the amount of data shown in each picture. The labelling of the steaks easily gets lost in the big picture. This is mainly because it is written in the same colour as the steaks, but is much smaller as they are. The labelling of the rainforest is more obvious than the labelling of the steaks. This is due to the fact, that the numbers are directly on the spheres and the color is a bright red which easily sticks out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The used image representation is, as discussed before poorly chosen. The units of steaks shown in the images stand in no connection with the data they are supposed to represent. There is a flag sticking in one of the steaks for no obvious reason, which is useless non-data-ink. And the drastic change of existing rainforest is not obvious using a pie diagram, because this form of representation does not make it easy to notice the change over time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Changed Graphic ver 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cowsntrees_ver2.jpg|600px]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Brazilian rainforest areas replaced by cattle farmland&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Correction ver 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the above changed graphic the destruction of the rainforest has been emphasized, using two line charts. The horizontal part is the tie (1970-2005) and at the vertical part there are 2 plots which show the growth of the beef production and the decrease of the rainforest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Changed Graphic ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cowsntrees.jpg|600px]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Brazilian rainforest areas replaced by cattle farmland&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Correction ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the above changed graphic the destruction of the rainforest has been emphasized, using pictograms instead of a pie chart. Though this might stand in conflict with the &amp;quot;use-less-non-data&amp;quot; philosophy in order to make the graphic simple and easy to understand, it is easier to get the message of the graphic at first glance without having to look at the caption. To focus on the destroyed areas, the lost trees have been marked with red crosses rather than leaving them out. This way the message greenpeace might have intended for the graphic should be delivered in a more obvious and direct way. The lines in the changed graphic were used to make the differentiation of the different years more obvious. The text of the graphic was unified and adapted to the importance of its information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of data could not be fixed, but with using the year dates as titles instead of a timeline the difference between them should be less bothering. The number of trees as well as the number of cows stand for precise units: one tree represents 100.000 square kilometres and one cow represents 500.000 metric tons. Using parts of the respective pictograms should approximate the exact values as good as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over all, it was tried to keep close to the style of the original graphic, which looks like it had the purpose to be used for public relations reasons, but changed to optimize the visual information using the data at hand.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactiv visualization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A: Description of data, users and goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Field of application and dataset ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our visualization will be used for medical data gathering and it should show a quick overview and detailed data of homer&#039;s life and how his life&#039;s circumstances change his drinking habbits. Furthermore it should give information about clinical facts and how homer should change his drinking habbits to get a better life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are using multidemnsioal metric data for the drinks consumed by homer for a day in a special month in a special year of his life. We distinguish between fluids (water, milk, juice, cola, café, and beer), contained substances (sugar, alcohol, caffeine), and their recommended maximum dose. &amp;quot;Homer&#039;s Life Circumstances&amp;quot; uses metric data for age, money, health, kids and hair. Married and employed are binary datas. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Target group ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This application could be used by medical staff (psychologists, doctors ) and the patient, because our visualization is very simple so everybody is able to deal with the application but also contains all the sufficient data to make medical analysis possible. The ideal case would be if the doctor and his patient would go through the data our visualization offers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Life Overview&amp;quot; in our visualization offers a quick look how drinking habbits have changed and so the doctor can have a quick look what has changed. If you need a closer look and maybe a psychologist wants to answer the question why homer&#039;s drinking behavior has changed, our visualization offers a zoom in function down to a single day, where you can see homer&#039;s life circumstances, the consumption of drinks and the amount of sugar,alcohol and caffeine someone should eat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aims of the visualization ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goals:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The visualization should show the change in drinking habits of the named types of fluids (water, milk, fruit juice, coke, coffee and beer) and the amount of certain ingredients (sugar, caffeine, alcohol) ingested per time unit depending on displayed detail-level over time and the influence of certain events during the life of the subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Demonstration of the maximum sugar, caffeine, alcohol a healthy person should consume and the actual amount homer consumes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Easy derivation of things to change in homer&#039;s life to live a healthier life (change life circumstances to get back to healthier consumption of fluids)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== B: Concept ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Types of visualization====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Different types of visualization were chosen in order to display the information. To get an overview of Homer Simpsons life one can see a &#039;&#039;distribution&#039;&#039; of the consumed drinks over the years. There is a possibility to enlarge certain parts of the diagram by &amp;quot;mouseover&amp;quot; it, which has a fisheye effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The intake of fluids over the year is not only dsplayed in the above mentioned way but also as a &#039;&#039;time-series&#039;&#039; in order to amplify the impact of the data in question. That way the user can easily see the periode of time, in which the intake of e.g beer was high and milk was low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to get more details about one year, it is possible to click on the year to get a &#039;&#039;pie chart&#039;&#039;, which shows the distribution of the amount of different drinks in a more highlighted way. Next to the pie chart there is a &#039;&#039;normal comparison&#039;&#039; of the amount of consumed fluids compared to the amount of recommended maximum doses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Double-clicking on one year will open a new distribution, next to the old one, showing Homers consumed drinks for each month. Also, clicking on one month will show a pie chart as well as a normal comparison of consumed fluids and maximum recommended dose. In this view it is also possible to double-click on one month, which will open the distribution shown for each day with the same possibilities mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Visual Mapping ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The used data can be parted in different types of data with different dimensions. On the one hand there are the different years, all having the same shape and size, all ordered by date in reverse order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand there are different fluids, each having a different color and changing sizes. Each &amp;quot;year-container&amp;quot; is filled with different amounts of each color, which display the dimension of the consumed drink for each year. The amount of each drink is also presented in a pie chart (for year, month and day) by the area it takes up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another type of data-dimensions used in the graphs is the comparison of the consumed amount of fluid and the recommended maximum dose. This comparison is displayed showing the dimension of fluid (in height) next to the dimension of maximum dose (in height).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Description of principals and techniques ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Different types of representation were used to visualize Homer Simpsons drinking habits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Distribution [Few, 2004]: shows the distribution of different values on either vertical or horizontal bars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normal Comparison [Few, 2004]: uses only vertical or horizontal bars to compare different value in one or more messures and no particular order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time-Series [Few, 2004]: showing different types of data of the same measure on a timeline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pie Chart [Gruppe, 2008]: shows the distribution of different components which are parts of the whole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotation | They are best used for displaying statistical information when there are no more than six components | [Gruppe, 2008]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fisheye: used to enlarge certain parts of a chart in order to be able to get a better preview of the data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click / Double-click / mouseover: as a technique to navigate through the chart different commands are used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Interaction possibilities ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the user there are different types of interacting with the system. When seeing the overview of Homer Simpsons life they can &amp;quot;mousover&amp;quot; all parts of the chart to see the data enlarged. If they are interested in more detail of the data, one click will display a new diagramm showing the selected data not only in detail but also giving more background information to see (e.g. the comparison of consumed fluid to recommended fluid, current situation concerning childhood, study, marrige, amount of children...).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even more detailed views can be seen when double-clicking on the selected year/month/day. This will open a view not unlike the first overview, only in a different measure (month instead of years, days instead of month). The user can again get an enlarged view just &amp;quot;mouseovering&amp;quot; the data and more details clicking it once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The overview of the data (years/month/days, depending on the level the user is at) can still be seen on the left side of the new data. The chosen data is always framed, to show which detailed view is displayed at the moment, hence navigating back to get more detailed views on other sections of Homer Simpsons life is easily accomplished. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another possibility to interact is the window which shows the current situation of the patient. This view displays data showing information about Homer Simpson from the currently selected periode of life, e.g. the amount of money he had available at this time, the amount of children he had and if he was married or not. This window can also be used as a selection tool in form of a dynamic query. The user is for example able to change the amount of children to go directly to the time, when Homer had 3, 2, 1 or 0 children. The selected years are then highlighted, so that the user can easily see the periode of time he or she selected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tool mentioned above can also be used as tool for prognosis. The user can select a year in the future of the patient, change the circumstances of Homer Simpson (e.g the amount of money he might have in future, divorcing him...) through dragging the markers up or down and then see in the other window the prognosis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mockup(s) / Fake screenshot(s) ====&lt;br /&gt;
          o zumindest zwei grafische Entwurfsskizzen oder interaktiver Prototyp &lt;br /&gt;
                + Handskizze + einscannen oder am Computer gezeichnet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the system support the users in their tasks? ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The system is designed to give the user a good overview of the patients life and habits. The possibility to have a look at not only an overview, but to easily get more detailed information about the circumstances the patient was in at what time and the change of drinking behavior can make future prognosis easier for the user. Not only the physical information can be taken into account but also the mental situation the patient was in at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore the user has the possibility to compare the drinking habits at different times using the &amp;quot;compare screen&amp;quot;, which makes it easier to actually find out the exact differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The users have an easy way to look at prognosis of Homer Simpsons future drinking habits by using the prognosis tool and changing the information, hence can try to advise Homer Simpson in a more precise way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Specialties ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The system itself is pretty much self-explanatory. The navigation is simple and there is a lot of information displayed on one screen without being too detailed to get confused or too little detailed to be meaningless. The user can not only see disconnected data but has a lot of background information to go with it. Therefore making prognosis as well as psychological profiles becomes easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Advantages and disadvantages ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Advantages:&#039;&#039; A big advantage is, as mentioned before, the easy navigation as well as the fact, that the user gets a good overview of the patients life. The unified use of colors for various liquids gives the user a chance to adapt to the system and hence the possibility to get an even better overview in less time when using the system on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another major advantage is the prognosis/selection tool, which gives the user an possibility to select using a dynamic query as well as the possibility to foresee the patients drinking habit to a certain point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Disadvantages:&#039;&#039; Due to the fact, that there is a huge amount of not only relevant data but also additional data used in the system, putting in the data as well as keeping it up to date takes up a rather big amount of time. Expanding the system to use more data might also turn out to be a bit complicated, because the new set of data might mean changes in the system architecture. This disadvantage can be avoided with the programmers keeping in mind that this can happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Future advancements ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The more background information the user get the better. In the presented system the used data is pretty limited. The user learns a lot about Homer Simpsons drinking habits, so the intakes of various liquids which contain different amounts of sugar, caffeine and alcohol. Also interesting might for example be his eating habits, due to the fact that that might have a huge impact on his sugar balance. &lt;br /&gt;

    (empfohlene Maximaldosis/Tag: 50g; enthaltener Zucker: 10g/100 ml Cola; 10g/100 ml Fruchtsaft; 3g/Würfelzucker).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  2) mg konsumiertes Coffein + empfohlene Maximaldosis pro Tag, Monat, Jahr &lt;br /&gt;
    (empfohlene Maximaldosis/Tag: 600mg; enthaltenes Coffein: 10 mg/100 ml Cola; 80 mg/100 ml Kaffee).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  3) g konsumierter Alkohol + empfohlene Maximaldosis pro Tag, Monat, Jahr &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactiv visualization ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== A: Description of data, users and goals ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Field of application and dataset ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our visualisation will be used for medical data gathering and it should show a quick overview and detailed data of homer&#039;s life and how his life&#039;s circumstances change his drinking habbits. Furthermore it should give information about clinical facts and how homer should change his drinking habbits to get a better life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Target group ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aims of the visualization ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== B: Concept ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Types of visualization====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Different types of visualization were chosen in order to display the information. To get an overview of Homer Simpsons life one can see a &#039;&#039;distribution&#039;&#039; of the consumed drinks over the years. There is a possibility to enlarge certain parts of the diagram by &amp;quot;mouseover&amp;quot; it, which has a fisheye effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The intake of fluids over the year is not only dsplayed in the above mentioned way but also as a &#039;&#039;time-series&#039;&#039; in order to amplify the impact of the data in question. That way the user can easily see the periode of time, in which the intake of e.g beer was high and milk was low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to get more details about one year, it is possible to click on the year to get a &#039;&#039;pie chart&#039;&#039;, which shows the distribution of the amount of different drinks in a more highlighted way. Next to the pie chart there is a &#039;&#039;normal comparison&#039;&#039; of the amount of consumed fluids compared to the amount of recommended maximum doses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Double-clicking on one year will open a new distribution, next to the old one, showing Homers consumed drinks for each month. Also, clicking on one month will show a pie chart as well as a normal comparison of consumed fluids and maximum recommended dose. In this view it is also possible to double-click on one month, which will open the distribution shown for each day with the same possibilities mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Visual Mapping ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The used data can be parted in different types of data with different dimensions. On the one hand there are the different years, all having the same shape and size, all ordered by date in reverse order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand there are different fluids, each having a different color and changing sizes. Each &amp;quot;year-container&amp;quot; is filled with different amounts of each color, which display the dimension of the consumed drink for each year. The amount of each drink is also presented in a pie chart (for year, month and day) by the area it takes up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another type of data-dimensions used in the graphs is the comparison of the consumed amount of fluid and the recommended maximum dose. This comparison is displayed showing the dimension of fluid (in height) next to the dimension of maximum dose (in height).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Description of principals and techniques ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Different types of representation were used to visualize Homer Simpsons drinking habits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Distribution [Few, 2004]: shows the distribution of different values on either vertical or horizontal bars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normal Comparison [Few, 2004]: uses only vertical or horizontal bars to compare different value in one or more messures and no particular order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time-Series [Few, 2004]: showing different types of data of the same measure on a timeline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pie Chart [Gruppe, 2008]: shows the distribution of different components which are parts of the whole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotation | They are best used for displaying statistical information when there are no more than six components | [Gruppe, 2008]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fisheye: used to enlarge certain parts of a chart in order to be able to get a better preview of the data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click / Double-click / mouseover: as a technique to navigate through the chart different commands are used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Interaction possibilities ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the user there are different types of interacting with the system. When seeing the overview of Homer Simpsons life they can &amp;quot;mousover&amp;quot; all parts of the chart to see the data enlarged. If they are interested in more detail of the data, one click will display a new diagramm showing the selected data not only in detail but also giving more background information to see (e.g. the comparison of consumed fluid to recommended fluid, current situation concerning childhood, study, marrige, amount of children...).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even more detailed views can be seen when double-clicking on the selected year/month/day. This will open a view not unlike the first overview, only in a different measure (month instead of years, days instead of month). The user can again get an enlarged view just &amp;quot;mouseovering&amp;quot; the data and more details clicking it once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The overview of the data (years/month/days, depending on the level the user is at) can still be seen on the left side of the new data. The chosen data is always framed, to show which detailed view is displayed at the moment, hence navigating back to get more detailed views on other sections of Homer Simpsons life is easily accomplished. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another possibility to interact is the window which shows the current situation of the patient. This view displays data showing information about Homer Simpson from the currently selected periode of life, e.g. the amount of money he had available at this time, the amount of children he had and if he was married or not. This window can also be used as a selection tool in form of a dynamic query. The user is for example able to change the amount of children to go directly to the time, when Homer had 3, 2, 1 or 0 children. The selected years are then highlighted, so that the user can easily see the periode of time he or she selected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tool mentioned above can also be used as tool for prognosis. The user can select a year in the future of the patient, change the circumstances of Homer Simpson (e.g the amount of money he might have in future, divorcing him...) through dragging the markers up or down and then see in the other window the prognosis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mockup(s) / Fake screenshot(s) ====&lt;br /&gt;
          o zumindest zwei grafische Entwurfsskizzen oder interaktiver Prototyp &lt;br /&gt;
                + Handskizze + einscannen oder am Computer gezeichnet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How does the system support the users in their tasks? ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The system is designed to give the user a good overview of the patients life and habits. The possibility to have a look at not only an overview, but to easily get more detailed information about the circumstances the patient was in at what time and the change of drinking behavior can make future prognosis easier for the user. Not only the physical information can be taken into account but also the mental situation the patient was in at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore the user has the possibility to compare the drinking habits at different times using the &amp;quot;compare screen&amp;quot;, which makes it easier to actually find out the exact differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The users have an easy way to look at prognosis of Homer Simpsons future drinking habits by using the prognosis tool and changing the information, hence can try to advise Homer Simpson in a more precise way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Specialties ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The system itself is pretty much self-explanatory. The navigation is simple and there is a lot of information displayed on one screen without being too detailed to get confused or too little detailed to be meaningless. The user can not only see disconnected data but has a lot of background information to go with it. Therefore making prognosis as well as psychological profiles becomes easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Advantages and disadvantages ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Advantages:&#039;&#039; A big advantage is, as mentioned before, the easy navigation as well as the fact, that the user gets a good overview of the patients life. The unified use of colors for various liquids gives the user a chance to adapt to the system and hence the possibility to get an even better overview in less time when using the system on a regular basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another major advantage is the prognosis/selection tool, which gives the user an possibility to select using a dynamic query as well as the possibility to foresee the patients drinking habit to a certain point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Disadvantages:&#039;&#039; Due to the fact, that there is a huge amount of not only relevant data but also additional data used in the system, putting in the data as well as keeping it up to date takes up a rather big amount of time. Expanding the system to use more data might also turn out to be a bit complicated, because the new set of data might mean changes in the system architecture. This disadvantage can be avoided with the programmers keeping in mind that this can happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Future advancements ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The more background information the user get the better. In the presented system the used data is pretty limited. The user learns a lot about Homer Simpsons drinking habits, so the intakes of various liquids which contain different amounts of sugar, caffeine and alcohol. Also interesting might for example be his eating habits, due to the fact that that might have a huge impact on his sugar balance. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=== Original Table ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Table2_wilmarth.gif]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Critics ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There is no title and subtitle defined for the table.&lt;br /&gt;
* The border around the table is not needed since there is plenty of space around it. Better to use white space, because it is the preferred means for arranging data into columns and rows. The subtle use of blank space to group data into columns and rows is the least visible means available. [Stephen Few, 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* Numbers are not consistent, because they have a different amount of digits after the decimal point and other numbers are expressed in an exponential form. Furthermore the numbers in the table should be reformatted to incorporate commas to the left of every three whole-number digits. This promotes effective communication of the data by also allowing people with bad short-term memory to enjoy the table. [Stephen Few, 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* Numbers should be aligned to the right, because this makes them easier to read. Text not holding numbers such as the columns &amp;quot;Analyte&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Units&amp;quot; should be aligned to the left.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rows and columns are to close togehter which makes reading the data very hard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid makes the data harder to read when scaning throug the colums and rows because it breaks up the data.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tk-50-HTK is a master category for all the other categories but it is not shown as a master category.&lt;br /&gt;
* microg is not a very suitable unit. µg would be better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Changed Table ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Table2_wilmarth_redesign.jpg | 600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Removed the border and grid and used whitespaces to seperate the data. Furthermore we added some horizontal and vertical whitespace for a better reading and understanding of the data. Now it is easy you to track across the rows and the columns.&lt;br /&gt;
* We removed the &amp;quot;Unit&amp;quot; column because every data in the table is in the same unit. We added a note in the header to make sure, that you still know what units are used.&lt;br /&gt;
* [Wilmarth et al., 2008] makes use of the average sample values in his paper so we added an average column at the right side of the table.&lt;br /&gt;
* [Stephen Few, 2004] states that you should make columns containing group summaries visually distinct from detail columns, so we made the average column boldfaced.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to [Stephen Few, 2004] we aligned the numbers which represent quantitive values to the right.&lt;br /&gt;
* The headers of the columns were aligned as the data. [Stephen Few, 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* The title should contain a brief description of the contents and inlcude the key elements of the table (groups, classifications, variables, etc). At least the year should be included in the table, so we added a corresponding title. [Carter et al., 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* We added a fill color for better horizontal reading, because fill colors are less distracting to the eye as it scans across them.&lt;br /&gt;
* We added categorical division to the table as all the samples are taken from the Tk50-HTK tank.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Bewertung ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;vorläufige Bewertung: 17 von 20 Punkten&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Verbesserungsvorschläge:&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Der ’white space’ zwischen den Spalten ist etwas zu gering. &amp;gt; Ihr könnt die Tabelle etwas mehr in die Breite ziehen &amp;gt; Große Werte kommen sich sonst zu nah (wie bei Natrium) und sind nicht mehr eindeutig unterscheidbar.&lt;br /&gt;
*Die alternierende Zeilen-Füllfarbe ist zu intensiv. &amp;gt; Helleren Ton wählen. Ansonsten wirken manche Zeilen wichtiger als andere.&lt;br /&gt;
*Vertikaler Strich zwischen ’Analyte’ und den zugehörigen numerischen Ergebnissen: Der horizontale Lesefluss wird an dieser Stelle unterbrochen. &amp;gt; Ohne diesen Strich könnte man leichter das Element und die Ergebnisse optisch ’verbinden’. &lt;br /&gt;
*Bei ’Fe’ – Average 2055.00 fehlt das Komma an der Tausender-Stelle.&lt;br /&gt;
*In Zeilen, in denen ein ’&amp;lt;’ – Zeichen vorkommt, sollte bei ’Average’ ebenso ein ’&amp;lt;’ – Zeichen stehen. &lt;br /&gt;
*Fußnote: Die Einheit sollte im Spannerheader oder Titel angeführt werden &amp;gt; unter der Tabelle in kleiner Schrift sehr unscheinbar.&lt;br /&gt;
*’ The percent sign is missing for every percentage value.’ &amp;gt;  Ist keine korrekte Kritik, weil es keine Prozent-Werte gibt. &lt;br /&gt;
*Bei ’Changes’ ist z.B. nicht erklärt (der Vorteil), warum ihr eine vertikale Linie zwischen ’Average’ und den anderen Spalten gemacht habt  und warum die ’Average’-Werte jetzt ’boldfaced’ sind.&lt;br /&gt;
*Die Links bei ’Resources’ als eigenen Punkt ‘Links’ anführen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Critics ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There is no title and subtitle defined for the table.&lt;br /&gt;
* The border around the table is not needed since there is plenty of space around it. Better to use white space, because it is the preferred means for arranging data into columns and rows. The subtle use of blank space to group data into columns and rows is the least visible means available. [Stephen Few, 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* Numbers are not consistent, because they have a different amount of digits after the decimal point and other numbers are expressed in an exponential form. Furthermore the numbers in the table should be reformatted to incorporate commas to the left of every three whole-number digits. This promotes effective communication of the data by also allowing people with bad short-term memory to enjoy the table. [Stephen Few, 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* Numbers should be aligned to the right, because this makes them easier to read. Text not holding numbers such as the columns &amp;quot;Analyte&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Units&amp;quot; should be aligned to the left.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rows and columns are to close togehter which makes reading the data very hard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid makes the data harder to read when scaning throug the colums and rows because it breaks up the data.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tk-50-HTK is a master category for all the other categories but it is not shown as a master category.&lt;br /&gt;
* microg is not a very suitable unit. µg would be better.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Removed the border and grid and used whitespaces to seperate the data. Furthermore we added some horizontal and vertical whitespace for a better reading and understanding of the data. Now it is easy you to track across the rows and the columns.&lt;br /&gt;
* We removed the &amp;quot;Unit&amp;quot; column because every data in the table is in the same unit. We added a note in the header to make sure, that you still know what units are used.&lt;br /&gt;
* [Wilmarth et al., 2008] makes use of the average sample values in his paper so we added an average column at the right side of the table.&lt;br /&gt;
* [Stephen Few, 2004] states that you should make columns containing group summaries visually distinct from detail columns, so we made the average column boldfaced.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to [Stephen Few, 2004] we aligned the numbers which represent quantitive values to the right.&lt;br /&gt;
* The headers of the columns were aligned as the data. [Stephen Few, 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* The title should contain a brief description of the contents and inlcude the key elements of the table (groups, classifications, variables, etc). At least the year should be included in the table, so we added a corresponding title. [Carter et al., 2004]&lt;br /&gt;
* We added a fill color for better horizontal reading, because fill colors are less distracting to the eye as it scans across them.&lt;br /&gt;
* We added categorical division to the table as all the samples are taken from the Tk50-HTK tank.&lt;br /&gt;

== Changed Table ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Removed the border and grid and used Whitespaces to seperate the data. Furthermore we added some horizontal and vertical whitespace for a better reading and understanding of the data. Now it is easy you to track across the rows and the columns.&lt;br /&gt;
*We removed the Unit Column because every data in the table is in the same unit. We added a note in the footer to make sure, that you still know what units are used.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Critics ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There is no title and subtitle defined for the table.&lt;br /&gt;
* The border around the table is not needed since there is plenty of space around it.&lt;br /&gt;
* The percent sign is missing for every percentage value.&lt;br /&gt;
* Numbers are not consistent, because they have a different amount of digits after the decimal point and other numbers are expressed in an exponential form.&lt;br /&gt;
* Numbers should be aligned to the right, because this makes them easier to read. Text not holding numbers such as the columns &amp;quot;Analyte&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Units&amp;quot; should be aligned to the left.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rows and columns are to close togehter which makes reading the data very hard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Grid makes the data harder to read when scaning throug the colums and rows because it breaks up the data.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tk-50-HTK is a master category for all the other categories but it is not shown as a master category.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Pie Charts==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Definition ===&lt;br /&gt;
A pie chart is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating relative magnitudes or frequencies or percents. In a pie chart, the size of each sector is proportional to the quantity it represents. Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A type of chart divided into sections of a circle, drawn from a single Y-axis value and used to illustrate the relationship of parts to the whole, particularly useful for emphasizing one specific element.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Quotation| [...] this is a quote| [Anonymous, 2008]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How to use it===&lt;br /&gt;
Determine proportions. Find the total value for the entire category being studied and calculate&lt;br /&gt;
the percentage for each segment or part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Calculate degress. Convert the percentage values for each segment into degrees relative to the&lt;br /&gt;
360 degrees in the circle. (For example, 12% X 360 degrees = 43 degrees)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Construct the chart. Draw a circle and divide it into appropriately sized segments.&lt;br /&gt;
Add labels and a title. Label each segment or add a legend to identify the segments. Then&lt;br /&gt;
clearly title the chart.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Other Forms of Charts ===&lt;br /&gt;
Among Pie Charts, used to display percentages, other forms of charts can be used for different &lt;br /&gt;
purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
* Column Charts - Used to show comparisons between items of data. A column in the chart represents the value of one item of data. &lt;br /&gt;
* Bar Charts - Are very similar to column charts, except they run horizontally on the page instead of vertically like column charts.&lt;br /&gt;
* Line Charts - Used to show trends over time. Each line in the graph shows the changes in the value of one item of data.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Pie Charts==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Definition ===&lt;br /&gt;
A pie chart is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating relative magnitudes or frequencies or percents. In a pie chart, the size of each sector is proportional to the quantity it represents. Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A type of chart divided into sections of a circle, drawn from a single Y-axis value and used to illustrate the relationship of parts to the whole, particularly useful for emphasizing one specific element.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===How to use it===&lt;br /&gt;
Determine proportions. Find the total value for the entire category being studied and calculate&lt;br /&gt;
the percentage for each segment or part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Calculate degress. Convert the percentage values for each segment into degrees relative to the&lt;br /&gt;
360 degrees in the circle. (For example, 12% X 360 degrees = 43 degrees)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Construct the chart. Draw a circle and divide it into appropriately sized segments.&lt;br /&gt;
Add labels and a title. Label each segment or add a legend to identify the segments. Then&lt;br /&gt;
clearly title the chart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Example===&lt;br /&gt;
