Presenting information

Graphs and Charts

A graph or chart should be clear and unambiguous. In order to help to achieve this
aim a number of rules should be followed:

 give each graph or chart a name or a title

 state the source of any data that has been used

 state the units of measurement that have been used

 give a scale so that the graph or chart can be properly interpreted

 ensure that the presentation is neat

 use a key to explain the contents

 if axes are used, they should be properly labelled.
