It presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals  newspapers  statistical packages  and data visualization systems. This foundation was designed for a distributed computing environment (Internet  Intranet  client-server)  with special attention given to conserving computer code and system resources. While the tangible result of this work is a Java production graphics library (GPL) developed in collaboration with Dan Rope and Dan Carr  this book focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. What are the rules that underly the production of pie charts  bar charts  scatterplots  function plots  maps  mosaics  radar charts? These rules are abstracted from the work of Bertin  Cleveland  Kosslyn  MacEachren  Pinker  Tufte  Tukey  Tobler  and other theorists of quantitative graphics. Those less interested in the theoretical and mathematical foundations can still get a sense of the richness and structure of the system by examining the numerous and often unique color graphics it can produce. Leland Wilkinson is Senior VP  SYSTAT Products at SPSS Inc. and Adjunct Professor of Statistics at Northwestern University. He wrote the SYSTAT statistical package and founded SYSTAT Inc. in 1984. Wilkinson joined SPSS in a 1994 acquisition and now works on research and development of graphical applications for data mining and statistics. He is a Fellow of the ASA and an Associate Editor of The American Statistician. In addition to journal articles and the original SYSTAT computer program and manuals  Wilkinson is the author (with Grant Blank and Chris Gruber) of Desktop Data Analysis with SYSTAT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45274566262837,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387987746","price":3205.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387987743.jpg?v=1780496738","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-grammar-of-graphics-statistics-and-computing-9780387987743","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
