| |
| == Critics & Changes ==
| |
|
| |
| === White space ===
| |
| === Arrangement ===
| |
|
| |
| The arranging of the mechanisms provided a grouping that makes it hard to read and recognize the differences.
| |
|
| |
| * By adding mechanisms as a row header the legibility of the table increased. Additional white space between each group proofed also helpful to improve the clarity of the table.
| |
|
| |
| === Numbers & Alignment ===
| |
|
| |
| Columns contain data with a varying number of decimal digits disrupt the visual structure of the columns in form of creating ragged edges on the right of a column.
| |
|
| |
| * To facilitate comparison of numbers in columns and to preserve the visual structure of columns (''Gestalt principle of enclosure'') numbers have now equal number of decimal digits with same alignment down the columns. The column headers also have been aligned with the associated data.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Numbers occur with varying numeric precision.
| |
|
| |
| * A numeric precision level of 5 decimal digits has been set to not exceed information with too excessive level of precision.
| |
|
| |
| === Descriptions ===
| |
|
| |
| The abbreviated row headers ''Comp'' and ''Impu'' are not consistent with the title and are not convenient describing the use of ''CRs only'' and the ''proposed method''.
| |
|
| |
| * The use of the abbreviations ''CR'' to describe the use of ''CRs only'' and ''prop'' to describe the ''proposed method'' link to the used methods in a more intuitive manner.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The arrangement of the rows ''Comp'' and ''Impu'' isn't handy to recognize that there is less difference between ''Full'' and ''Impu'' than between ''Full'' and ''Comp''.
| |
|
| |
| * Therefore the rows have been arranged in such order to be unterstood more easily. The row ''prop'' has been placed above the row ''CR''.
