Understanding Graphic Libraries in Application Software for Data Presentation

This presentation will guide you in learning the advantages and disadvantages of using graphic libraries in various applications such as kitchen design, cartography, and network design. Graphic libraries are collections of symbols and images that simplify the design process by allowing users to drag and drop elements into their projects. Examples like Microsoft Visio will be discussed to illustrate how these libraries function and their impact on productivity. We will also cover how technological advancements affect the relevance of these symbols.

Presentation Transcript

  1. 3.1.6: Application software used for presentation and communication of data Graphic Libraries

  2. What will you learn? • This presentation aims to help you learn two things: • How to describe the advantages and disadvantages of using graphic libraries. • How graphic libraries are used in the following applications: • Kitchen design • Cartography • Network design

  3. What is a graphic library? • Graphic libraries are essentially a collection of images or symbols that are accessible through an application. • Specialist applications, such as the ones we will look at in this presentation, make use of graphic libraries. • This allows the user to simply drag and drop images and symbols into their application.

  4. Visio 2010 - example • Microsoft produce an application called Visio. • Visio allows people to make different kinds of diagrams using graphic libraries. • Symbols can be dragged into the workspace.

  5. Kitchen Design • Kitchen design applications will have graphic libraries that have standard images and symbols for cupboards, draws, appliances, power sockets, doors, windows and table tops.

  6. Cartography (map making) • Like with the kitchen design application, map makers can drag and drop symbols into a workspace. • The symbols are often standardised with Ordnance Survey and the Land Registry.

  7. Network Design • Network designers can use industry-standard symbols to create network diagrams. However, as technology is changing rapidly, symbols are often becoming out dated.

  8. Pros & Cons of Graphic Libraries

  9. Questions • Explain how a graphic library could be used to produce a map for a driving competition. [4 marks] • Explain the benefits of using standardised graphic libraries over making up your own symbols. [4 marks]
