Clear legend (or key).
Clear labelling of axes including values.
Scales selected to maximise discrimination between values.
No use of 3 dimensional graphics.
Then there are some things are are specific to the type of graph. For example, a pie or circle graph should not have more than 7 segments. The segments should not be less than 2% (around 7 degrees).
A Scale Should Make The Graph Readable
label the axises
you should use a bar graph
Easy, just use your word processor. There should be a option for a graph, if not then get Open Office. http://www.openoffice.org/
I believe trends in data should be presented in a graph.
A Scale Should Make The Graph Readable
Yes do that
To make a good graph title, just state what your graph is about. If the line graph (example) shows the population of England, your graph title should be 'Population of England Over Time'.
You would make it on graph paper so you can go by even axis...
I am not sure but you should get Microsoft exel
label the axises
Excel
readable
you dont
To make a graph with an experiment, it would be wise to make a short graph at first. Make a rough draft using basic numbers, and draw the graph after the information is gathered.
Yes! A graph should have a succinct and precise title. The axes of a graph should be clearly labeled with the correct units for the entities graphed. A graph should have its axes scaled so that the graph is not difficult to use. A graph should also have the drawer's initials or name and the date it was prepared.
