This weeks reading we went to the Form of facts and figures site and read patterns on Relation circles, and bubble charts.
The first chart I read was on relation circles which are basically an arrangement of interconnected elements that are placed in a circular shape of equal distance. They are used a lot to show heavy amounts of data that is normally displayed in large lists. Relation circles help to separate description and location of a data element which improves readability through alinement.

The second chart I read about was the bubble chart. Bubble charts are a lot like scatterplots that I talked a little about a few weeks ago. They are a coordinated system that shows correlations between quantitative attributes of two different points. It is displayed three dimensionally and can be used to help visualize social, economical, medical, and other scientific relationships.
