Interactive guide explains Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio
Original: Tufte's Razor: an interactive guide to the data-ink ratio https://tuftesrazor.scienceux.org/ # DataViz # Design # Scienc
A new interactive guide called Tufte's Razor walks readers through Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio, the design principle that charts should remove every element not carrying information. The guide lets users explore how stripping away gridlines, borders and other non-data ink changes a visualization's clarity. It is being shared among data visualization, design and science communities interested in clearer presentation of quantitative work.
Why now: Design and data visualization practitioners are interested in accessible, hands-on explanations of Tufte's classic principle.
