Graphical displays are well-known for showing data, inducing their viewer to think about the substance, but not about the methodology, the technology of graphic production, graphic design, etc., avoiding the distorting what exactly each of the parts of the data is to say.

Sometimes graphics can be more revealing and precise than some of the statistical conventional computations.

Infographics are used for condensing some large amounts of information into some definite form so it becomes simpler to absorb it by the reader. It can always be created by hand using simple everyday tools such as pencils, markers, graph paper, rulers, etc, but nowadays it is much better and easier to have one of the best drawing applications such as ConceptDraw DIAGRAM one.
