3 - Data Visualization (Principles)

This document discusses principles of data visualization. It covers graphical basics like clarity, precision, and efficiency. It discusses types of visualizations to show proportions, distributions, and relationships. Examples include bar plots, histograms, scatterplots, and combining data sources on maps. Color, scales, facets, and transformations are addressed. The goal of data visualization is to maximize ideas while minimizing ink through minimalist presentation to clearly show the data.
