Question

Do you think a graph is worth a thousand sets of data (or words).?

Answer 1

A detailed graph sure can be. A simple pie chart is worth a paragraph or two, but a well drawn line graph can be used to compare any two sets of data quickly and easily - and that's worth a truck load of words.

Answer 2

If the graph contains 500 pairs of data points, then it is worth exactly as much as 1000 words, if a word represents one data coordinate.
