A simple chart or graph is another way to comprehensively illustrate multiple points. Charts can be provided in still image prints, including magnetic boards, and can also be animated. The use of color and textures can easily separate, highlight or combine important information.

Further expansion of the still board is adding magnetic capabilities. On the magnetic board, information can be moved, added or removed to emphasize specific points. Magnetic boards are also used in demonstrating auto accidents where vehicles can be moved and placed accordingly.

Animated charts and graphs are extremely flexible in terms of showing large amounts of information without creating multiple stationary charts. Information in an animated chart can fade in and out to illustrate specific groups of data and colors can change based on time progression.

There are limitless ideas that can be applied to animated charts and graphs. Animated graphics can be presented using VHS videotape, CD-ROM or DVD disc. Click on Media Formats for an in-depth explanation of each format and the equipment that is required.
