将数据通过图形的方式呈现,也是经历过一段时间的发展的。除了该页中提到的2本书外,还有:
- The concepts of exploring a data set visually were pioneered by John Tukey in the 1960s and 1970s. Tukey consolidated his many ideas on data exploration into a book in the late 1970s, John Tukey, Exploratory Data Analysis, 1977, Addison-Westley.
- Bill Cleveland documented his seminal work in visualization of complex data sets in his book, William S. Cleveland, Visualizing Data, 1993, Hobart Press.
