Why Graphics Make Documentation Work Better;

• Graphics aid job performance
• Graphics help documents go global
• Graphics reach nonreaders
• Graphics seduce reluctant readers
• Graphics add credibility
• Graphics aid thinking
• Graphics promote more efficient reading
• Graphics can explain visual and spatial concepts

Why Graphics Work

• Vision is our dominant sense
• Graphics are compact
• Graphics escape the limitations of linear text
• Graphics are readily understood
• Graphics are remembered
• Graphics are self-correcting

Geography has a long tradition of using specialized mapping tools for asking spatial questions. (via Spatial Questions for Spatial Thinking Microsoft Word format or View as HTML) :
1. Express location. – Where is this place? Location
2. Describe conditions at a location. – What is there? Condition (Site conditions)
3. Trace connections with other locations. – How is this place linked with other places? Connection
4. Compare locations. – How are places similar or different? Comparison
5. Describe the zone of influence around a location. – How far does its influence extend? Aura
6. Delimit a region of similar places. – What nearby places are similar to each other? Region
7. Describe the area between places. – How do things change between two places? Transition
8. Find an analog for a place. – What other places have similar conditions? Analog
9. Identify a spatial pattern. – What distinctive arrangements can you see on a map? Pattern
10. Compare spatial patterns. – Are the spatial patterns similar? Pattern comparison, Correlation
11. Extract the exceptions to a rule. – Where are the places that do not fit the rule? Exceptions
12. Analyze changes in pattern through space and time. – How do things spread through space? Diffusion
13. Construct spatial models. – Are distant places linked by intermediate processes? Spatial model

Hex Grid benefits;
+ Under the hexagonal system, all points are equidistant, at 1 unit.
+ the constituent points are more densely packed than an equivalent rectangular rendering of roughly the same apparent size
+ many operations of interest to the field of vision can be more successful when dealing with a hexagonal lattice – such as edge detection and shape extraction over images showing complex objects with rounded features
+ they more closely resemble the layout of photo-receptors in the human retina
