Other Visualizations

implement using the Microsoft stack, and how to implement them. In this chap-

As discussed at length in Chapter 1, data driven
visualizations and infographics are very different in
function, and they are often different in form as well.
An infographic is typically static—in other words, if
the data changes, the infographic doesn't update.
Many infographics are simply images rather than
being interactive.
An infographic is often used to tell a single story,
with imagery chosen to it that story. It might have
numeric values attached to the images. An example
infographic is shown in Figure 16-1.
