PHOENIX. July 8, 2002. They have said that a picture is worth a thousand
words, but it's worth more! Imagine looking at a report with a long list of
numbers and trying to ascertain your expenses. And your boss wants some
immediate decisions. Or your company has been doing really well and you
would like to know who to reward for their efforts. Having a picture of the
data is so valuable, and it is what people call data visualization.

prepare the chart/report. What if the data changes, and what if you don't
have another application, and what if you don't have the luxury of time on
your side?
