INDEX CHARTS
Background
Mostly used in finance, Index Charts are similar to Line Charts. But instead of plotted every data value, there are no specific points on the chart. Only the line is visible with straight edges and no curves. The line is continuous and travels in one direction.
For references, visit Example.
Description
Go to the SOCR Charts and select Line Charts from the items located on the left, then select the demonstration for Index Charts:
The image above is a demonstration of a simple Index Chart. Note that there are no data points on the graph but only the line of the graph. Note that the line is continuous and does not curve. Below the graph, statistical values of the data set are shown.
Data Type and Format
By clicking Data inbetween the Graph and Mapping button, it allows users to input or vary the values of the data set. There are two different types of variables - the independent variable and the dependent variable. Note that in the image below, the independent variables are simply listed as integers under the first column and the dependent variable are listed to the corresponding value under the second column:
Applications
One of the most persuasive elements when proposing data and literature to others is a well-designed chart presentation.
For businesses, using the Index Chart will visually show the growth of the company without displaying the specific growth of the business at a certain point in time.
