I just have to say that the bar chart you show is so small that I can hardly read the numbers, so based on that I would say the pie chart won. As you mentioned in your other article, if you can't read it (aka 3d charts) then it is pretty much useless.
- yummyfajitas 15y agoI think that's an artifact of his blog shrinking both charts. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FgA0y68WIKI/TnCFePEOtYI/AAAAAAAAAzY/b9ztftxSv8g/s1600/rGvFW.png http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FgA0y68WIKI/TnCFePEOtYI/AAAAAAAAAz... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_3G3MdDBjCA/TnCFUbUBthI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/eXay29YncyU/s1600/Support_For_Direct_Popular_Vote.png http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_3G3MdDBjCA/TnCFUbUBthI/AAAAAAAAAz... However, I believe this is a counterexample to JGC's challenge: http://www.failepicfail.com/epic-fail/1102/mmm-pie-pie-eaten-win-epic-fail-1297353955.jpg http://www.failepicfail.com/epic-fail/1102/mmm-pie-pie-eaten...
- Terretta 15y agoI was looking for this and am not disappointed. I defy JGC to graph that more clearly. Meanwhile, while I agree pie charts are poor for comparisons of area of slices, or of varying sized pies, but believe the average person understands the slices well as percentages of a whole. As percentages of a whole they are glancable. Further, n the "sausage" charts, the for and against are NOT readily comparable, as they do not start from opposite ends. The "Other" should have been graphed in the middle, allowing the balance of the two ends to be understood and comparison of both positions against the other two bars to be understood. Charting well is hard.
