SYMBOLIC AXIS
Background
The Symbolic Axis is basically a Scatter Plot with symbolic axes. It if often useful for concepts, theories, processes, etc.
For reference, see IEEE.
Description
Go to the SOCR Charts and select Miscellaneous from the items located on the left, then select Symbol Axis Demo:
Note that in this demonstration, the axes are labeled with letters and the graph has Cartesian values.
Applications
One of the most persuasive elements when proposing data and literature to others is a well-designed chart presentation.
The Symbolic Axis approach is useful for displaying events that are not easily categorized such as color or dates, but for more complicated items such as theories and processes.
Suppose engineers want to visually display results of different approaches to a problem. Utilizing this type of chart may be useful for their illustrations.
