Expressiveness A set of facts is expressible in a visual language if the sentences (i.e. the visualizations) in the language express all the facts in the set of data, and only the facts in the data.
Effectiveness A visualization is more effective than another visualization if the information conveyed by one visualization is more readily perceived than the information in the other visualization.
Design Principles [Mackinlay 86]
![Page 3: CSE 512 - Data Visualization Graphical Perception](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051813/628275cbb8a44e78ce7d29cb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Tell the truth and nothing but the truth (don’t lie, and don’t lie by omission)
Use encodings that people decode better (where better = faster and/or more accurate)

Graphical Perception The ability of viewers to interpret visual (graphical) encodings of information and thereby decode information in graphs.

Value is perceived as ordered ∴ Encode ordinal variables (O)
∴ Encode continuous variables (Q) [not as well]
Hue is normally perceived as unordered ∴ Encode nominal variables (N) using color

Continuity
We prefer smooth not abrupt changes [from Ware ’04]

Summary
Choosing effective visual encodings requires knowledge of visual perception.
Visual features/attributes Individual attributes often pre-attentive Multiple attributes may be separable or integral
Gestalt principles provide high-level guidelines
We don’t always see everything that is there!
