……一个例子是《图形探索：牛奶中的鳟鱼及其他视觉冒险》（Graphic Discovery: A Trout in the Milk and Other Visual Adventures）。这些都是非技术性的短篇章节，讨论了不同的数据集。比尔·克利夫兰（Bill Cleveland）的《数据可视化》（Visualizing Data）和《数据绘图的要素》（Elements of Graphing Data）涵盖了相同的主题——数据绘图——但技术层面更深。我不知道克利夫兰的书对你问的问题有没有帮助，但是……它们是非常棒的书，如果你感兴趣的话……
…one example is "Graphic Discovery: A Trout in the Milk and Other Visual Adventures." They're non-technical, short chapters, discussions of different data sets. Bill Cleveland's "Visualizing Data" and "Elements of Graphing Data" cover the same material -- graphing data -- at a more technical level. I don't know Cleveland's books would help with the issues you asked about, but... they are amazing books and if you're interested…
…gnuplot wasn't very smart about how it chose points when plotting expressions (e.g., telling it to plot "sin(x)" rather than passing it points on a sine curve). Re guides, I liked William Cleveland's "Elements of Graphing Data". However, I'm not widely-read on this subject, so this is kind of one point in the noise.
…psychological studies on comprehension of graphics) rather than one man's opinion. Also, Cleveland actually has accomplished something other than scolding and praising. Personally, I liked Cleveland's "Elements of Graphing Data" (http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Graphing-Data-William-Clevela...) better than "Visualizing Data", though they overlap a lot.
Another good source on visual presentation (of data) is Cleveland (author of "The Elements of Graphing Data", see http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2013/02/revisiting-clevelands... ). The neat thing is Cleveland formally tested a lot of his visualization principles (asking people to estimate things from different…
William Cleveland, "Elements of Graphing Data"[1] and "Visualizing Data"[2] Cleveland worked at Bell Labs and his work is timeless and very practical. It isn't about artwork or making things look nice. It's about communicating information. I like…
William Cleveland did some research along those lines and he wrote two good books: - The elements of graphing data - Visualizing data The first one is of general interest, the second one more specialized for statisticians.

……gnuplot 在绘制表达式取点时不是很智能（例如，让它绘制“sin(x)”而不是给它传入正弦曲线上的点）。关于指南，我很喜欢威廉·克利夫兰的《数据绘图的要素》。不过我对这个领域涉猎不深，所以这只能算是一点参考意见。

……关于图形理解的心理学研究），而不是某一个人的主观意见。另外，克利夫兰除了批评和表扬之外，实际上是有真才实学的。就个人而言，我更喜欢克利夫兰的《数据绘图的要素》（http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Graphing-Data-William-Clevela...），而不是《数据可视化》，尽管两者有很多重叠之处。

关于（数据）视觉呈现的另一个优质来源是克利夫兰（《数据绘图的要素》的作者，参见 http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2013/02/revisiting-clevelands...）。妙处在于克利夫兰正式测试了他的许多可视化原则（让人们根据不同的……来估算事物

威廉·克利夫兰的《数据绘图的要素》[1]和《数据可视化》[2]。克利夫兰曾在贝尔实验室工作，他的成果经得起时间考验且非常实用。这不是为了追求艺术感或者把东西弄得好看，而是为了传递信息。我喜欢……

威廉·克利夫兰沿着这个方向做了一些研究，他写了两本好书：- 《数据绘图的要素》 - 《数据可视化》 第一本适合大众阅读，第二本更偏向统计学家的专业领域。
