Golf 97.5 Without three columns, the table will appear as either as shown in Table 14. Table 14. Table 12 shown with only one column. Relative System Comparison Ratio 0.309 Bravo 0.180 Charlie 1.22 Delta 1.96 7.46 Echo 31.6 Foxtrot 97.5 Golf A or a figure? A table should only be used when either exact values are necessary (e.g., numbers which are to be used or monetary values) when one of the columns cannot be ordered in a manner which is meaningful. For example, the atomic number and the atomic mass in Table 9 may both be ordered and, ignoring gold, if the goal is to present the relationship between the two variables (and not their exact values), one could use a chart as is shown in Figure 32. Figure 32. The six elements and their atomic masses. One issue with Figure 32 is that it occupies 120 cm2 or 20 % of this page, but it contains only 24 data points (six actual points and six implied points for each of , 2n, and ); a data density of 0.2 items per square centimetre. Higher data densities are both possible and desirable. The classical example of a chart with a high data density displaying many variables (in this case, army size and movement, specific locations, river crossings, battles, and temperature) is Charles Joseph Minard’s chart showing Napoleon’s advance and retreat from Moscow in 1812-1813 . Figure 33. Minard's advance and retreat of Napoleon from Moscow in 1812-1813 . The other information in Table 9 (the state at STP, the filing orbital, and the category) can not be easily or more clearly presented using a graph and therefore a table is appropriate.
