Beschreibung
This monograph presents a systematic analysis of diagrams as visual representations of factual knowledge. The analysis shows that the design process may be divided into three phases: a data classification phase, a graphical decision phase, and a layout phase. Performed in this order, the three phases more or less reflect the design process of a human expert. They also serve as a basis for a constructive theory for diagram design, which is the main focus of this book. Another interesting topic is only touched upon, namely the commonalities of automatic graphics and text design.
A thorough presentation of the foundations of visualizing information The author demonstrates the efficiency of graphical communication Information visualization is a "hot topic" not only in scientific contexts
