4.0 out of 5 stars
Treat the examples as possible "patterns",
By
This review is from: Digital Information Graphics (Hardcover)
Woolman's book has merit to anyone wondering how to present a complex data set, so that a user can easily understand what is being displayed. You can use the many examples, especially the diagrams of course, in the book as case studies. Instead of just glancing at each diagram, try closely studying the layout. A sometimes reductionist approach that lets you see deeper than what is immmediately before your eyes.
In language borrowed from programming, you can treat some of the diagrams as "patterns". Though there is no standard terminology in this field, comparable to that used for patterns, insight may still be possible. Of course, the diagrams in the book are often more than just static displays. Often, there is functionality built into the graphics windows that also forms a key part of the user experience. |
