New way to News

A new way to display news is newsmap. Newsmap is an application that reflects the changing landscape of google news. It makes use of Treemap visualization algorithm. Basically, treemapping is a method for displaying tree structured data by using nested rectangles. A treemap visualization algorithm here makes use of aggregator. This aggregator gathers news from several resources.

       Newsmap divides information into easily recognizable bands, which when presented together represent the clusters of information relating to particular area, region or culture. A great example would be Google News that makes use of newsmap and automatically groups news stories with similar content and places them based on algorithmic results into clusters. In Newsmap, the size of each cell is determined by the amount of related articles that exists inside each news cluster that the Google News Aggregator presents.It could be viewed at http://newsmap.jp/
Awesome method of representing information. A sort of clustering of related information in BLOCKS!!

Plotting data on Bubble charts

In this post I will be helping you to plot bubble chart on Microsoft Excel. It is really easy to plot data on bubble charts. First of all, your data must contain atleast three to four rows and columns because if it contains lesser rows than the chart does not plots the bubbles correctly.The various steps for plotting data using bubble charts on Microsoft Excel is as follows:
1. Select the data that you want to plot on Bubble chart.(It is good if you don't include the row and column headings while selecting the data as selecting row and column headings may give incorrect bubbles).

2. Go to Insert tab, on the Charts group select Other Charts.

3.Under Bubble, click Bubble with a 3D- effect.

4. Click the chart area of the chart. This displays the Chart Tools, adding the Design, Layout and Format tabs.

5. On the Design tab, in the Chart styles group, click the chart style that you want to use.

This is an easy way to design out your data on Bubble charts.Use it.It makes your data interesting and presentable.

Enjoy BubbliNg!!!

Bubble Charts

Bubble charts are the charts that are used to represent the three dimensional data easily on a 2D flat surface.

Drawing bubble charts is an easy process. It could be done in Microsoft Excel easily. It is actually the variation of Scatter charts in which the points are replaced by bubbles.We use bubble charts when our data contains three set of values for three data series. It can be explained with the help of an example: Suppose we have three types of data: number of products, dollar value of sales and percentage size of market share.

In the bubble chart the size of the data is determined with the third data values.E.g. In the above example, when we draw the bubble chart the size of the bubble is determined by the Market share %.

The data in the bubble chart is represented by plotting the number of products on horizontal(X- axis), Sales amount are displayed on vertical (Y- axis), Market share percentages are represented by Size of bubbles.

WHERE TO USE BUBBLE CHARTS? 

1. Bubble charts are used when specific values are to be represented more visually with the help of the varying size of the bubbles.

2. It is used when three values per data point are to be represented.

3. Bubble size can represent negative values.Even though the size of negative bubbles are represented through positive values , their data labels will show the true negative values.

4. It is used for plotting multiple data series.

Bubble charts are easy and organised way of effectively visualizing the data.
