Description
Infographics were created as a visual alternative to presenting information by plain text. By means of symbols or schematic pictures information can be transferred to the reader in an instance [1]. The issue it solves is best explained by the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words [2]. This means that visualizations can have a high information density and at the same time give a clear overview. The first infographics were illustrations, graphs and charts used in the context of scientific and economic information presentation [3]. Infographics date back to the 17th and 18th century of which the visual representation of the march of Napoleon on Moscow is particularly well-known. This illustration is a map with various axis combining time, locations and numbers [4].
