This blog post will be serving as a dumping ground for thoughts on the text, including graphics and potential sketches of extensions. Tufte sets out principles to avoid such distortions with the following guidelines: Graphical integrity is more likely to result if these six principles are followed: Below I propose a slight reordering of these guidelines, and organize them in the 3 sections below. The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.

The representation of numbers, as physically measured on the surface of the graphic itself, show be directly proportional to the nubmer of guantities represented. Information on aesthetics and data graphical displays is included. This is the second edition of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Please enter recipient e-mail address(es). To put an attractive display into a report, one should (1) make sure the caption for the graphic helps the reader’s eye understand the graphic and avoid forcing the reader to jump back and forth with the real text and (2) make sure to put enough text and labels in the graphic for the reader to quickly pick up relevant points (3) make sure the graphics are included close to the text that is related to it (I’m talking to you \(\LaTeX\)). changing with time such as pressure or temperature) or static. What it means to create an amazing graphic, and how to do so within your texts and full presentations. Also offered is information on the design of the high-resolution displays, small multiples, editing and improving graphics, and the data-ink ratio. Figure 4: An extreme example of Tufte’s reduction in unnecessary ink in graphics. image link. Please enter the subject. For the reader interested in cool applications / recommendations that follow this reduction of redundant data-ink, Tufte does propose good ideas to convert graphics like box plots to more simplistic graphics (see figure 5) and redesigns of scatter plots (keeping the actual points) is pretty smart use of the principles (chapter 6). This push for a high “data density”/ complex visuals brought up a wonderful tool in graphics, which I like calling coplots (from Cleveland meaning “Conditional plots”), but more generally Tufte just introduced the use of multiple grids to increase data display. Write out explainations of the data on the graphic. Also offered is information on the design of the high-resolution displays, small multiples, editing and improving graphics, and the data-ink ratio. Mechanical indicator type of quantitative displays are usually utilized.
