3. Data Visualization
The representation and presentation of data
that exploits our visual perception abilities in order
to amplify cognition.

#3: Apollo 17
The image is one of the few to show a fully illuminated Earth, as the astronauts had the Sun behind them when they took the image.
NASA rotated the original picture 180 degrees before publishing it.
#5: "On Exactitude in Science by Jorge Luis Borges
High to Low
Level of graphic interpretation
#10: The highest level of Bertin's interpretive acts concerned whether we are able to
visually discriminate between different data marks or data series: can we actually see and read the data being presented. We must make sure that the way we visually distinguish different categorical and quantitative values is legible and is in no way hidden by way of unnecessary clutter, noise, or distraction.
#11: The highest level of Bertin's interpretive acts concerned whether we are able to
visually discriminate between different data marks or data series: can we actually see and read the data being presented. We must make sure that the way we visually distinguish different categorical and quantitative values is legible and is in no way hidden by way of unnecessary clutter, noise, or distraction.

#13: The second act refers to being able to satisfactorily judge the relative order or
ranking of values in terms of their magnitude. This is basic pattern matching
where we seek to determine the general hierarchy of the values being
displayed: where is the most and where is the least, which is the biggest and
which is the smallest.

#17: The lowest-level act relates to judging values. Studies have shown how the
effectiveness of different visual variables can be ranked based on which most
accurately support comparison and pattern perception.

#23: 1869 -
Of all of the visualizations in this post, Charles Minards map of Napoleons March is probably the most famous. Edward Tufte singled it out as the greatest statistical graphic ever, pushing it into the public consciousness. Whether it really is the greatest ever or not, this image does a great job of showing the miserable failure of the march, and the correlation with really cold weather.
#25: Today we know that cholera is spread through water, but in the early 1800s people werent sure. John Snows cholera map helped to show that contaminated wells were at the center of outbreaks. His research helped save countless lives and set the foundation for the field of epidemiology.
#32: Mapping geo-spatial data
To plot and present datasets with geo-spatial properties
via the many different mapping frameworks. A popular
approach would be the choropleth map.
#33: Choropleth map
Data variables: 2 x quantitative-interval, 1 x quantitative-ratio.
Visual variables: Position, color-saturation/lightness.
#34: Dot plot map
Data variables: 2 x quantitative-interval.
Visual variables: Position.
#35: Bubble plot map
Data variables: 2 x quantitative-interval, 1 x quantitative-ratio, 1 x categorical-nominal.
Visual variables: Position, area, color-hue.
#36: Isarithmic map (or contour map or topological map)
Data variables: Multiple x quantitative, multiple x categorical.
Visual variables: Position, color-hue, color-saturation, color-darkness.
#37: Particle flow map
Data variables: Multiple x quantitative.
Visual variables: Position, direction, thickness, speed.
#38: Cartogram
Data variables: 2 x quantitative-interval, 1 x quantitative-ratio.
Visual variables: Position, size.
#39: Dorling cartogram
Data variables: 2 x categorical, 1 x quantitative-ratio.
Visual variables: Position, size, color-hue.
#40: Network connection map
Data variables: 2 x quantitative-interval, 1 x categorical-nominal.
Visual variables: Position, link, color-hue.
