As we continue to collect, analyze, and interpret more data using both classical and modern approaches, visualization has become a large part of the way we present results or obtain information. Since graphical construction can either help or hinder the audience's understanding of the results, we need to be careful to not fall victim to the "dark side" by creating charts and graphs that are deceptive in presenting the truth. We will explore the visual decoding process, which is called "graphical perception." We will look at what makes a graphical method successful or unsuccessful and potentially deceptive to the audience for which it is intended. The goal is to provide graphical techniques and strategies for both data analysis and data communication.
