To be effective, a visualization must have:
Purpose – Have a clear purpose and focus
Content – Contain (only) the right information
Structure – Is structured correctly
Formatting – Has useful formattingThis talk defines these four pillars, reveal why they must be selected in this order, and discuss the importance and impact each has on your visualization.
