Let’s quantize space
Let’s quantize space, with an offset
between possible positions for text
and those for more geometric items,
such as frames, rules, or photographs.
These geometric items should thus
be dimensioned so their total height
is an integer number of the quantum,
which is equivalent to a baselineskip.

Effective graphical displays
Graphical displays complement verbal discourse
in written documents and in oral presentations
as a most powerful form of effective redundancy.
Through spatial relationships and potential richness of detail,
they provide insights in ways that text cannot hope to match.
They include not only illustrations such as drawings, graphs,
and photographs, but also the visual appearance of anything
that can be seen, such as a printed page or a presentation slide.
Because they are in essence nonsequential, visual components
are more difficult to analyze and to design than verbal ones.
No methodology can state what type of information to locate
in the beginning, middle, and end of a true graphical display,
for visual codings simply have no beginning, middle, or end.
This part first proposes alternative descriptions of pictures.
Focusing on the display of numbers, it then discusses how to
plan, design, and construct graphs, and how to add captions.
