This is a highly practical and example-based guide on visually representing data
|
|
|
|
|
in reports and dashboards. It is based on the work of authors such as Barbara
|
|
|
|
|
Minto, Edward Tufte, and Stephen Few.

3. Choose proper visualization.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Avoid clutter.

5. Increase information density.
|
|
|
|
|
