Welcome to issue #146 of The Process, the newsletter for FlowingData members about how the charts get made. I’m Nathan Yau, and this week I’m thinking about one of my least favorite types of visualization: the chart meant for analysis standing in for a chart meant for presentation.
To access this issue of The Process, you must be a member. (If you are already a member, log in here.)
The Process is a weekly newsletter on how visualization tools, rules, and guidelines work in practice. I publish every Thursday. Get it in your inbox or read it on FlowingData.
You also gain unlimited access to hundreds of hours worth of step-by-step visualization courses and tutorials, which will help you make sense of data for insight and presentation. Resources include source code and datasets so that you can more easily apply what you learn in your own work.
Your support keeps the rest of FlowingData open and assures the data keeps flowing freely.
