Description
Data Points: Visualization That Means Something by Nathan Yau explores the art of data graphics and visualization. This book examines standard rules across all visualization applications, then delves into when and where you can break those rules to create visualizations that register at all levels. Using examples from various fields such as art, design, business, statistics, cartography, and online media, Yau shares intriguing ideas on illustrating data. The book includes his own illustrations, as well as those from professionals in these fields, to demonstrate effective visualization techniques. By focusing on the graphics side of data analysis, Data Points offers a fresh perspective on visualization that can help viewers see trends and patterns they might not otherwise notice in a table.
