商品描述

 

Visualizing with Text uncovers the rich palette of text elements usable in visualizations from simple labels through to documents. Using a multidisciplinary research effort spanning across fields including visualization, typography, and cartography, it builds a solid foundation for the design space of text in visualization. The book illustrates many new kinds of visualizations, including microtext lines, skim formatting, and typographic sets that solve some of the shortcomings of well-known visualization techniques.

Key features:

  • More than 240 illustrations to aid inspiration of new visualizations
  • Eight new approaches to data visualization leveraging text
  • Quick reference guide for visualization with text
  • Builds a solid foundation extending current visualization theory
  • Bridges between visualization, typography, text analytics, and natural language processing

Designers, developers, and academics can use this book as a reference and inspiration for new approaches to visualization in any application that uses text.

作者簡介

Richard Brath has been actively involved in the research, design, and development of data visualization and visual analytics since 1990. His research interests include exploration of the boundaries of visualization - such as this book regarding text and visualization - as well as graph visualization, automated insights, 3D, spreadsheets, aesthetics, and machine learning. From a commercial perspective, Richard focuses on the creation of unique, innovative visualizations that are in use by hundreds of thousands of users. Richard originally acquired a degree in architecture and worked in industrial design, special effects, and 3D animation. With the opportunity to solve business challenges with interactive computer graphics, Richard switched to visualization, creating one of the first interactive 3D financial visualizations on the web (1996). Richard is a partner at Uncharted Software, where his team creates a wide variety of visualizations, ranging from small mobile screens to multi-screen video walls. These visualizations are used in domains such as financial markets, professional sports, health care, journalism, and customer analytics. Richard has a personal blog at richardbrath.wordpress.com.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Richard Brath自1990年以來一直積極參與數據可視化和視覺分析的研究、設計和開發。他的研究興趣包括探索可視化的界限 - 例如本書關於文本和可視化 - 以及圖形可視化、自動化洞察、3D、電子表格、美學和機器學習。從商業角度來看，Richard專注於創造獨特、創新的可視化，這些可視化被數十萬用戶使用。Richard最初獲得建築學位，並在工業設計、特效和3D動畫方面工作。有了用交互式電腦圖形解決業務挑戰的機會，Richard轉向可視化領域，在網絡上創建了最早的交互式3D金融可視化之一（1996年）。Richard是Uncharted Software的合作夥伴，他的團隊創建了各種各樣的可視化，從小型移動屏幕到多屏幕視頻牆。這些可視化應用於金融市場、專業體育、醫療保健、新聞業和客戶分析等領域。Richard在richardbrath.wordpress.com上有個人博客。
