After looking at average heights some the world before today it seems similar a practiced thought to facial expression at the average life expectancy of unlike countries across the globe. Unfortunately this 3DFx Widget - Life Expectancy map is equally bad equally Le Pais' average tiptop map is good.
It's hardly always a practiced thought to endeavor in addition to visualize information on a 3d globe alongside vertical towers. It is inwards fact a actually bad thought when the deviation betwixt the unlike values you lot desire to exhibit is rattling small. It is an fifty-fifty worse thought to in addition to then perpetually bounce your vertical bars upwards in addition to down.
I defy anyone to accurately read the average life expectancy of a province on this 3d globe using the vertical towers on the map. I uncovering it adjacent to impossible to fifty-fifty approximate which countries accept taller towers than other countries.
Luckily this average life expectancy map does accept a trivial tabular array running along the bottom of the map showing the average life expectancy of countries inwards lodge (with Hong Kong having the highest). If I was 3DFx I would larn rid of the 3d globe in addition to but display this list.
I experience actually pitiable for anyone
BTW - it also took me an historic menses to operate out how to persuasion the information on lead house of the 3d globe. You appear to bespeak to click on the trivial globe icon inwards the lead house right-hand corner of the globe before the information is displayed.
