Demystifying Tufte's data-ink ratio
A new article examines Edward Tufte's well-known data-ink ratio, the principle that charts should strip away every visual element not carrying information. The piece unpacks what the concept actually means, where it helps and where it is misapplied, prompting discussion among designers and data visualisation practitioners about how strictly Tufte's minimalist doctrine should be followed in real-world graphics.
Why now: The article challenges a long-standing but often misunderstood principle in data visualisation, prompting debate among design and analytics practitioners.
