Demystifying Tufte's data-ink ratio
Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio, a classic principle in data visualisation, is being examined in a new piece that breaks down what the concept actually means and how it applies to chart design. The discussion revisits whether maximising the ratio of data to non-data ink is a practical guideline or an often misunderstood rule, drawing renewed interest from designers and analysts.
Why now: Designers and data practitioners are revisiting Tufte's influential visualisation principles and debating their practical use.
