\r\n A pictograph (sometimes also called a pictogram) is the simplest way of representing data.\r\n In a pictograph, the data is represented using symbols and pictures.\r\n Each symbol or picture represents certain amount of a given item or object.\r\n Thus, by looking at the occurrence or repetition of a symbol, one can determine the absolute amount of the object it represents.\r\n Since in pictographs, data is represented using pictures and images, pictographs are very easy to create, read and understand.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Imagine you are a dog seller (i.e. someone who breeds and sells dogs).\r\n Let's say you breed 5 different kinds of dogs: Bulldog, Doberman, Greyhound, Dalmatian and Shar-Pei.\r\n Let's assume that in a given month, you sold 20 Bulldogs, 30 Dobermans, 40 Greyhounds, 10 Dalmatian and 20 Shar-Peis.\r\n The following pictograph portrays this information in a visual form that is easy to read and understand.\r\n
\r\n\r\n This MagicGraph offers a visually interactive tutorial that will help you understand how to read a pictograph.\n
\r\n\r\n John is a dog seller. Not all days of the week are same. Some days John sells more dogs, other days he sells only a few.\r\n The pictogram below shows the number of dogs sold by John on a day-by-day basis over the period of a week.
\r\n Now, let's say each dog is sold for $500. Simply tap on a day on the pictogram to display the value of dogs sold by John on that day of the week.\r\n
\r\n Tap on the shuffle button to generate the report for John from another week's sales activity.\r\n
