Tufte also emphasizes a chart being the end product of analysis plus graphic design, where the chart is painstakingly laid out for publishing on a high-quality paper medium. Which basically says that when you try to make a visualization look prettier and add a lot of elements to a visualization, those elements can detract from the actual message that the visualization is trying to provide to the observer.
For this, Tufte’s tool of choice is Adobe Illustrator.
Dave Nash, a “kindly contributor” at Tufte’s forum then refined the chart, making aspects of it clearer and more Tuftian (original graphic on top, Nash’s on bottom): Very commonly three dimensions can make a two-dimensional graph look more engaging. Pie Charts graph proportions as "slices" of a circle, like a pie that you cut into slices. Explanation . Bad 3D Exploding Pie Chart I can't believe I'm putting this in a blog post, but 'with great power, comes great responsibility'. 5 min read. Pie graphs, and especially exploded 3D pie charts, are the favorite whipping boy of data viz geeks, often because of their distortion and lack of clarity ("chart-junk"). The circle, or Pie, represents the whole sum of the slices, or 100% of the data. We as humans always like to interpret pictures more than text. Pie Charts: Title text: If you can't get your graphing tool to do the shading, just add some clip art of cosmologists discussing the unusual curvature of space in the area. Tufte doesn’t say much about Excel, other than exhibiting mild surprise that his students are able to apply his principles while using Excel. Tufte's advice is encapsulated nicely in the term chart junk. Anyway, this chart uses slopes to carry meaning, hence its inclusion here, but I think it’s different enough from the table-chart Tufte developed in 1983 that it isn’t quite in the same family.
