Book Description
This book was written for statisticians， computer scientists， geographers， research and applied scientists， and others interested in visualizing data. It presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals， newspapers， statistical packages， and data visualization systems. This foundation was designed for a distributed computing environment (Internet， Intranet， client-server)， with special attention given to conserving computer code and system resources. While the tangible result of this work is a Java production graphics library (GPL) developed in collaboration with Dan Rope and Dan Carr， this book focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. What are the rules that underly the production of pie charts， bar charts， scatterplots， function plots， maps， mosaics， radar charts? These rules are abstracted from the work of Bertin， Cleveland， Kosslyn， MacEachren， Pinker， Tufte， ! Tukey， Tobler， and other theorists of quantitative graphics. Those less interested in the theoretical and mathematical foundations can still get a sense of the richness and structure of the system by examining the numerous and often unique color graphics it can produce.
