    Pictograms and cartograms are visual representations of information. Pictograms use pictures or icons to represent concepts or ideas, and should be simple, clear, concise and interesting. They have greater attractive value and are remembered more easily than text. Cartograms use statistical maps to provide quantitative geographical information by distorting areas to be proportionate to a variable like population size.

    Pictogram
    A pictogram, also called a
    pictogramme, pictograph, or simply
    picto, and also an ' icon', is an
    ideogram that conveys its meaning
    through its pictorial resemblance

    Constructing a Pictograph
    The pictorial symbol should be self-explanatory.
    A symbol must represent a general concept.
    A symbol should be clear concise and interesting
    A symbol should suit the size of paper
    Pictographs should be simple to understand and
    convey essential facts

    Merits
    Greater attractive value
    Used in exhibitions and fairs
    Pictures are remembered in our mind

    Limitations
    Difficult to construct
    Do not give minute details

    Cartograms
    Cartograms or statistical
    maps are used to give
    quantitative information on a
    geographical basis.
    They are thus used to
    represent spatial distributions
