Document Summary
Data graphics should draw the viewer"s attention to the substance of the data. They should present quantitive content, and help reasoning about quantitive information. The good principle for charting is above all else, show the data, which means. Give the viewer the greatest number of ideas in the shortest time use the least amount of ink, without wasting space eliminate redundancies. A natural way to achieve such goals is to use a large share of ink to present data info the non- erasable core of a statistical graphic is called the data-ink. It is the non-redundant ink arranged in response to variation in data. The data-ink ratio is the proportion of a graphic"s ink devoted to the non-redundant display of data information. 1 - the proportion of a graphic that can be erased without loss of data information. The first charts devoted too much of their ink to the graphical apparatus.
