The greatest way to communicate knowledge from increasingly huge and complicated datasets in the natural and social sciences is through effective visualization. However, with the growing power of visualization tools, scientists, engineers, and business analysts are frequently faced with a bewildering number of visualization choices and alternatives.
Among the best books on data modeling and design, Fundamentals of Data Visualization walks you through several typical visualization difficulties and shows you how to turn enormous datasets into clear and engaging images. Which form of visualization is ideal for the story you want to tell? How do you create visually appealing figures that are informative? Author Claus O. Wilke explains you the most important aspects of good data visualization.
- Investigate the fundamental notions of color as a tool for emphasizing, distinguishing, or representing a value.
- Recognize the significance of redundant coding to ensure that vital information is provided in various ways.
- Use the visualizations directory in the book, which is a graphical introduction to the most frequent sorts of data visualizations.
- Get a lot of samples of good and terrible figures.
- Learn how to properly use figures in a document or report to make a compelling tale.
