Here's something simple and minimalist that might be simultaneously the worst stacked bar char t I've ever seen. It's supposed to be showing the minimum and average frames per second, look at it for a moment and let it sink in what they did. I'm crosspostig it from this thread here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3348051&perpage=40&pagenumber=216#post454067634 The labels are correct but they just directly stacked the min and avg values so the total bar size is min+avg, so the only thing that still makes sense is that more is still better, but otherwise it's completely useless. Of course it would've been perfectly readable too if the segment sizes were min and avg-min (while retaining the labels).  Oh look, suddenly you can tell at a glance that the stock Pentium has a higher average but lower minimum than the AMD processor.

That's because you're looking at it wrong. It's actually 17+23 = 40 > 38 So it makes sense! When I said the labels are correct, keep in mind that the labels are for the segments separately. Which would make sense if these were daily apple and pear sales, I guess.

Solice Kirsk posted:Also our baking measurements are better anyways since it doesn't have to be standardized and just rely on the correct proportions of ingredients and you wind up with the correct end product. Cups and spoons are bullshit for baking though, it really has to be by mass to get any sort of decent repeatability and consistency.

Not really a graph but I think this belongs here:  It's a speed limit sign for Poland. I guess it's pretty logically laid out, but consider that you'll only get to see it once when driving through the border at a decent speed. In contrast, here's the German one:

flosofl posted:Maybe it's because I'm not from Europe, but I see nothing logical about this at all for a sign you need to take in while having only seconds to register it. It took at least a minutes to figure out *most* of it. Some are guesses I'm pretty confident, some are guesses I'm not, and there's still a couple I have no loving clue. The German one, on the other hand is perfectly clear of course. Although it has been simplified to basically only show passenger cars - trucks and buses also have different limits, but the assumption is probably that professional drivers can be expected to research this poo poo on their own.

Powered Descent posted:Clearly the maker of the graph has an all-terrier motive. Tree Goat posted:Are there any other examples of treemaps in the wild (where "the wild" is "the news media or clickbait or infographics")? I know the wikipedia import/export graphs use treemaps, and there's the map of the market, and some disk space analysis software, but all of those applications are sort of for wonks anyway. I am trying to think of where the general public would see a fair number of hierarchical quantities where a bar chart wouldn't be a better option.

I could see some use cases where l/100km is a bit less intuitive than MPG/MPL but comparing different cars is definitely not one of them. In fact, it's a much better way to compare cars because you can exactly see how much more or less fuel a car uses. E.g, 10l/100km car will use 2 fewer liters than 12l/100km, exactly the same as going from 7 to 5l/100km, which is far less obvious with the inverse nature of MPG. And the scale itself is extremely simple too: <5 is good, ~7 is ok, >10 is bad, at least as far as a regular joe motorist is concerned, though it would vary with fuel type and vehicle class.

Did they just not know what it was? Well yeah, that too, as it's fairly low on the y-axis as well. But I would guess that they'd do the rankings just among the people who do know the brand. They should do this with B2B brands and have them estimate coolness based on names/logos. mobby_6kl has a new favorite as of 09:04 on Apr 4, 2017 |
