Wainer16 makes three points on the use of graphs in exploratory data analysis: (1) impact is important. Ideally, a graph should be vivid enough that its primary message is inescapable, but (2) understanding a graph is not automatic. A good legend can make a weak graph into a strong one. Wainer believes that a legend should state the point of the graph. Indeed, having to prepare informative legends may reduce the number of pointless graphs in a paper, as it makes the pointlessness of the graph evident. (3) A graph can make points that might not have been seen otherwise.
