An idea is colour schemes. They have been proven to get their message across better because they stand out (and look pretty). If you are using binary values then I would say do something similar to what Benny Skogberg has proposedBenny Skogberg has proposed but with colour. Then comes the decision, Red for no and Green for yes? Red for hot and Light blue for cold? Just find a combination that fits with what you're trying to portray. Also bare in mind that even though some colour schemes are known by everyone as standards it's always handy to have a legend to reinforce what they mean.
