圖表類型適合提到盡量避免條形圖和柱狀圖展示隨時間變化的數(shù)據(jù)比較項(xiàng)目在比較持續(xù)時間時選擇柱狀圖比較過多的項(xiàng)目，5個或6個是比較典型的上限當(dāng)類別有很長的名字時不要使用條形圖，而是使用柱狀圖線形圖展示數(shù)據(jù)的趨勢或模式如果數(shù)值被均勻分割，使用線形圖，例如按月或年劃分餅圖展示一類數(shù)據(jù)的大小相對于其他類和整體的比例在餅圖中展示多余一個類別的數(shù)據(jù)過程圖展示過程中的步驟使用常見的形狀來表示過程中的部分改變常見形狀的意義層次圖展示一個組織中的匯報(bào)關(guān)系在圖內(nèi)的每個方框中包含過多的細(xì)節(jié)2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)ClearWriting3.說明數(shù)據(jù)（1）條形圖和柱狀圖

條形圖和柱狀圖表示以間距歸類的分類數(shù)據(jù)和數(shù)字?jǐn)?shù)據(jù)，例如每月的銷售額或每個產(chǎn)品的費(fèi)用。條形圖的每一個類別都包含一個橫向的條形，并且，每一個條形的高度或長度代表著那一類別的值。柱狀圖與其相似，只是使用縱向的條形。圖2-3展示了柱狀圖的實(shí)例。（2）線形圖

線形圖揭示了數(shù)據(jù)的趨勢和模式。線形圖展示了兩個數(shù)值是如何彼此關(guān)聯(lián)的?？v軸（y）通常表示數(shù)量，例如金額或者百分比。橫軸（x）通常表示時間單元。因此，用線形圖展示隨時間變化的數(shù)量最為理想。圖2-3同樣展示了線形圖。2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)ClearWriting3.說明數(shù)據(jù)（3）餅圖

餅圖可以被分割成若干個楔形塊，每塊都代表一個類別。有時，為了特別強(qiáng)調(diào)，將一個楔形塊從餅圖中分離出來。餅圖可以將整體和其各部分進(jìn)行對比。圖2-3同樣展示了帶有重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)的楔形塊的餅圖。（4）過程圖

過程圖展示了一個過程中的若干步驟，有時稱作流程圖。不同的形狀代表各種不同類型的活動。例如，圓形或橢圓代表過程的開始和結(jié)束，菱形代表必須進(jìn)行的決策和選擇，而矩形代表過程的主要活動或者步驟。2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)ClearWriting3.說明數(shù)據(jù)（5）組織結(jié)構(gòu)圖（或?qū)哟螆D）

當(dāng)人們和物體按照一定層次組織在一起時，可以使用一個組織結(jié)構(gòu)圖來代表他們。組織結(jié)構(gòu)圖通常畫為一個水平的或豎直的樹，使用幾何圖形來代表其不同的元素。線將各種形狀連接起來表明元素之間的關(guān)系。

組織結(jié)構(gòu)圖展示了企業(yè)的正式結(jié)構(gòu)。層次圖展示了對象間的關(guān)系。下圖同樣展示了一個組織結(jié)構(gòu)圖的例子。2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)圖的例子

2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)ClearWriting4.在文檔中添加表格和圖片讓文檔變得更有吸引力和易于閱讀的一個方法就是插入圖形、照片和插圖。這些視覺元素可以吸引眼球，并且有助于將讀者的注意力吸引到文字上來。表格也提供視覺上的吸引力，而且被設(shè)計(jì)用來比較信息的列表。2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)ClearWriting3.說明數(shù)據(jù)（1）在合適的時候使用插圖

僅當(dāng)它們能夠提升文檔的價值并且支持內(nèi)容的時候才插入圖形。例如，在公司文檔上使用公司徽標(biāo)。插入圖形不要僅僅為了裝飾頁面、分割文本或增加文檔長度的視覺資料。下圖展示了帶有附加圖片的InfoSource手冊。（2）給圖片加上標(biāo)簽

每一個圖片和表格通常都包含一個標(biāo)簽和題注來標(biāo)記它們。使用“圖#”來標(biāo)記圖片，比如圖表、示意圖、照片、地圖和繪圖。使用“表#”來標(biāo)記表格。給圖片和表格單獨(dú)按順序編號。表格的標(biāo)簽通常出現(xiàn)在表格的上方，圖片的標(biāo)簽出現(xiàn)在插圖的下方。在標(biāo)簽后面加一個簡短的說明來描述展示的內(nèi)容，例如“圖1云端的客戶服務(wù)”。2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)添加到InfoSource小冊子的圖片

2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)ClearWriting3.說明數(shù)據(jù)（3）引用每一個圖片或表格

在文字的附近，插入所包含的每一個引用圖片和表格。參考圖號理論上應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在圖片的前面，例如“圖1展示了云端的客戶服務(wù)的照片”。（4）調(diào)整插圖的大小

當(dāng)在文檔中插入照片、圖表和圖形時，它們會以原始大小和分辨率顯示。如果必要，調(diào)整圖像的大小來適應(yīng)頁面和平衡內(nèi)容。確保在調(diào)整大小的時候保持縱橫比不變。（5）將插圖放在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢?/p>

將圖形放在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢靡允鬼撁娌季制胶?。例如，兩張圖形都在頁面的左邊而所有的文字都在右邊，這可能看起來不平衡。2.SimulatedWriting:UncoveringtheSecretsofClearWriting(II)添加小冊子中的圖片和標(biāo)題
