Information diagram

An information diagram is a graphical way of showing information. It can be used to present complex information in a way that is easy to understand. Information diagrams often use pictures, symbols, and text to explain something. For example, a map is a type of information diagram. The shapes on a map show the different countries, cities, and roads. The labels on the map tell you what each shape means. Information diagrams help us make sense of the world around us.
