Embrace dataink ratio for efficient visualization from "summary" of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Edward R. Tufte
The goal of creating effective visual displays of quantitative information is to maximize the data-ink ratio. This concept, introduced by Edward R. Tufte, emphasizes the importance of minimizing non-essential ink in a visualization in order to enhance clarity and efficiency. By reducing the amount of ink used for non-data elements, such as borders, gridlines, and redundant labels, the data-ink ratio can be optimized, resulting in a more effective and impactful visualization. To embrace the data-ink ratio for efficient visualization, it is essential to carefully consider every element included in the design. Each mark on the page should serve a purpose in conveying information, and any extraneous elements should be eliminated. This requires a critical eye and a willingness to simplify the visualization to its most essential components. By focusing on maximizing the data-ink ra...
