The essential characteristic of a dynamic graphical method is the direct manipulation of elements of a graph on a computer screen, which in high-performance implementations, the elements change virtually instantaneously on the screen. This book contains a collection of papers about dynamic graphics dating from the late 1960s to 1988. Although technology has advanced considerably, the fundamental ideas about basic graphical principles and data-analytic goals are still relevant today.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
This review is from: Dynamic Graphics for Statistics (Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole Statistics/Probability Series) (Hardcover)
I bought this book second hand many years ago, a good 10 years after the book was first published. To this day I enjoy reading the collection of papers within. The first chapter complete with the comments from Tukey & Tufte are worth it alone.
Of course, I paid far less than $159 for the book. The most striking thing about this book that you don't find in many modern texts on visualization is that because of the computational power limitations of the era when it was written, the authors of the systems described in the book go to great lengths to justify their design decisions. And if you look at many modern visualization tools you can see how little relative thought was forced upon modern systems developers due to the massive advances in computational power since the early research coming out of Bell Labs.
