„Who should read this book? The simple answer is, of course, anyone who is interested in business or scientific graphics. This is the only book in print that lays out in detail how to write computer programs for business or scientific graphics.“
SHORT BOOK REVIEWS
„This book reveals the kind of thinking that produced the versatile graphics component of those packages, and offers a foundation for quantitative graphics in the distributed computing environments of the future.“
Written for statisticians, computer scientists, geographers, research and applied scientists, and others interested in visualizing data, this book presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals, newspapers, statistical packages, and data visualization systems. It was designed for a distributed computing environment, with special attention given to conserving computer code and system resources. While the tangible result of this work is a Java production graphics library, the text focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. It investigates the rules that underlie pie charts, bar charts, scatterplots, function plots, maps, mosaics, and radar charts. These rules are abstracted from the work of Bertin, Cleveland, Kosslyn, MacEachren, Pinker, Tufte, Tukey, Tobler, and other theorists of quantitative graphics.
