Sounds like a homework question to me, Guest. And this isn't a homework help site.

But, if you're serious about finding answers to your questions, check out the works of Edward Tufte.

I'm not convinced. Put your wife on here.

This sounds too much like a question from a test or text book.

Go Fish!

This is a question for a class i know cuz i already took the class where its asked.. why don't you stop cheating yourself and write your own answer. I mean you are paying for the class anyway so if you don't want to do the work then leave the class.

1. Powerpoint graphics is very powerful and you can put them in a spec.

2. A drawing with explaination.

3. Timing diagrams in Electronics.

I have done this many times it works a picture is worth a thousand words.

In a technical communication, you can add pie charts, line graphs, and slides. They make easy to visualize and reading a technical document.
