The document discusses different types of graphs and charts that can be used as infographics to visually present information, including bar graphs for comparing data sets, line graphs for showing trends over time, pie charts for proportions or percentages, forest graphs for comparing values within groups, and radial graphs which are similar to forest graphs but presented in a circle. It also briefly mentions basic image manipulation software that allows editing photos, including both offline paid software like Adobe Creative Suite as well as open source options like GIMP, and common image file formats like JPEG, TIFF, GIF and PNG.

'graphics', meaning, information from graphics. Like what you did with the activity earlier, graphics, pictures and images can convey a lot of information especially when it has context. Infographics can greatly enhance the way you present your information.
GRAPHS AND CHARTS AS INFOGRAPHICS
Bar graphs -these are primarily used in
comparing sets of data. They visualize the difference between values in a table and show rate of change over time.
Line graphs - these are similar with bar
graphs in terms of use, with a difference that line graphs are more suitable in showing trends.
Pie charts - these are circular statistical
graphical representation of proportion or percentage.
Forest graphs - these graphs are used to
visually represent values within a group and compare them to other groups.
Radial graphs - these are similar to a forest
graph in many aspects but are presented using a circle.
BASIC IMAGE MANIPULATION
An image editor is a software
application that allows the photo to be edited and enhanced. Offline software (Adobe Creative Suite) and open Source (GIMP software and sketchup- formerly Google Sketchup) Image file format can be used are JPEG or JPG, TIEF, GIF and PNG
