The Graphical Display of Data

Good information design is clear thinking made visible, while bad design is stupidity in action.

—EDWARD TUFTE, VISUAL EXPLANATIONS

A CHART PROVIDES a graphical display of numerical information that otherwise would be presented in a table. Ideally, a chart should convey ideas about the data that would not be readily apparent if they were displayed in a table or as text. Designing good charts, however, presents more challenges than tabular display, as it draws on the talents of both the scientist and the artist. You have to know and understand your data, but you also need a good sense of how the reader will visualize the chart’s graphical elements.
