<div>== GOLDEN RATIO ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
===DEFINITION===<br />
The '''golden ratio''' is an irrational mathematical constant with the approximated value of 1.6180339887. It is the relation between two quantities, where the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. [Wikipedia, 2009a]<br />
<br />
This mathematical proportion is often recognized as 'aesthetically pleasing', thus it is often found in many different fields like mathematics, architecture, geometry, science, biology, nature, art and design.[Livio, 2002] <br />
<br />
Other names used for the golden ratio are '''golden section''', '''golden mean''', '''extreme and mean ratio''', '''medial section''', '''golden proportion''', '''golden cut''' and '''golden number'''<br />
[Summerson, 1963]<br />
<br />
It is said, that two quantities are in golden ration if and only if the following condition holds:<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio.png]]<br />
<br />
It is mostly symbolised by the Greek letter [[Image:Phi.png]] (phi) or sometimes by the less known τ (tau).<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio-graphical.png|right|thumb|upright|]]<br />
<br />
The history of the golden ration at least goes back to the ancient greeks, Pythagoras and his followers. The greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria (365BC - 300BC) first mentioned the '''golden mean'''[Joyce, 1997]:<br />
<br />
{{Quotation|A straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to the lesser.| Euclid of Alexandria(ca. 300BC)}} <br />

<br />
===CALCULATION===<br />
<br />
Method for calculation of golden ratio constant is beginning from the following algebraic formula:<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio.png]]<br />
<br />
From the formula we obtain that a is equal b/[[Image:Phi.png]], so we can replace all occurences of a:<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio-1.png]]<br />
<br />
Devided by b formula changes to:<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio-2.png]]<br />
<br />
Now we need to multiply formula by [[Image:Phi.png]] and by moving content of the right side to the left side we get quadratic equation:<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio-3.png]]<br />
<br />
The only positive result to above equation is the irrational number we have already presented:<br />
<br />
[[Image:golden-ratio-4.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
===GEOMETRY AND MATHEMATICS===<br />
<br />
Fibonacci introduced a sequence of numbers, today called the '''Fibonacci Numbers''', which is often found in natural sciences. By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two [Wikipedia, 2009a] . <br />
<br />
1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,....<br />
<br />
<br />
Every number of this alignment equals to 0,168 if you divide it with the one before it, and 1,618 when you divide it with the number after it. These are the relationships between the larger and smaller numbers in the golden ratio. Below you can see example for division of bigger by smaller number:<br />
<br />
[[Image:fibonacci-example-1.png]]<br />
<br />
and by smaller devided by bigger number:<br />
<br />
[[Image:fibonacci-example-2.png]]<br />
<br />
<br />
There are many shapes in which golden ratio were discovered. Examples of those you can see on the right side.<br />

<br />
===ART & DESIGN===<br />
<br />
<br />
Since the beginning of ART & Design, the artist and designers used the golden ratio in order to manage and achieve beauty and balance in their creations. In the following table you can see few examples for all.<br />
{| cellpadding="2" style="border:1px solid darkgray;"<br />
!width="140"|Mona-Liza<br />
!width="150"|Aztek decorations<br />

[[Image:cards.jpg|120px]]<br />
|- align=center<br />
| In Mona-Liza painting you can find many golden rectangles that together create golden spiral.|| The space between the two heads is exacly Phi times the width of the heads.|| if you measure a credit-card, the outcome would be a perfect golden rectangle.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
===Architecture===<br />
<br />
There is many examples of golden ratio even in architecture. Architect were inspired by this "sacred ratio" already in times of Pyramids. Even in Greek you can find golden rectangles, spirals, etc. In the table below you can find several examples.<br />
<br />
<br />
{| cellpadding="2" style="border:1px solid darkgray;"<br />

|- align=center<br />
| The Great Pyramid has proportions designed according to golden ratio.[Obara, 2000]|| Even in proportions of Parthenon you can find golden spiral consisting of golden rectangles.[Obara, 2000]|| The Designers of this new Plaza have chosen the Fibonacci series spiral, or also called the golden mean to design this new state of the art plaza.[Knott, 2009]<br />

I am. But you're confusing the deerins with that word. They don't understand what a consensus is or isn't or how they come to exist.Besides, don't you know that every scientific organization is made up of weak-kneed scientists who are spreading fairytales and that leftist alarmists like to tell them to small children to frighten them.You know Like Bigfoot.Dax *sigh* You know nothing of science. Look up "falsifiability". Besides that, if you want to use legalese, you have the burden of proof since you are the one crying foul. If you initiate a case (such as AGW is a socialist plot to implement the NWO), you are considered the plaintiff and assume the burden of proof. In other words, *YOU* need to back up *YOUR* claims as scientists already back up theirs in the scientific literature I'm sorry richie, but not a single one of your examples is relevant to the question. Though when you use the Einstein quote, you may want practice some introspection.You may also want to stop plagiarizing. It's illegal, you know?_</div>Ipodsofthttps://infovis-wiki.net/w/index.php?title=Visualization_Design_Patterns&diff=147761Visualization Design Patterns2012-11-21T08:41:15Z<p>Ipodsoft: </p>

== Overview ==<br />
For any design discipline, including Information and Scientific Visualization, there are design problems within the domain that tend to arise time and again. Although effective solutions may be known, they are not helpful unless that knowledge is coherently structured and communicated to colleagues. Without good structure, design knowledge may be disparate and disjointed, and relationships among solutions may not be apparent. Without good communication, designers who are unaware of solutions may be forced to ‘reinvent the wheel’, wasting unnecessary effort on a problem that has already been solved by others. Some means of capturing and codifying solutions to Information Visualisation design problems would be useful for those engaged in practice. The Visualization Design Patterns described here have been proposed for this purpose. <br />
<br />
== Foundational Patterns ==<br />
<br />
These patterns are the building blocks of Visualizations. They are more "reference patterns" than true "design patterns". Visualization designers will assume they are a given component of visualization design. The patterns are included to provide a common technical lexicon, to build a ''lingua franca'' used throughout the language, to encourage communications between novices and experts, and to facilitate a discussion of pros and cons.<br />

<div>==Color==<br />
<br />
{{Quotation|Color is the perceptual result of light in the visible region of the spectrum, having wavelengths in the region of 400 nm to 700 nm, incident upon the retina. |[Poynton, 1999]}}<br />
<center>Light is electromagnetic radiation with wavelength between 380 nm = blue and 780 nm = red.</center><br />
<center>Unit 1 nm = 1 billionth of a meter.</center><br />
[[Image:Intro.JPG|thumb|400px|center]] <br />
The complexity of all kinds of different color mixtures was substantially simplified in 1931 by Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage CIE, who defined a two-dimensional, horseshoe-like color space, that allows easy definition and description of color mixtures. The edge of the horseshoe includes all the pure spectral colors. The inside region contains the mixtures. <br />
<br><br />
The human visual perception is too complex to be quantified in a more than approximate manner. One practical approach is to define 2,3 or more spectral colors and create mixed colors by adjusting the relative proportions of the said spectral colors and colorless (i.e. white/black) component,. Or one defines first the mixed color, quantifies first its colorless (brightness/darkness) component and then codes the color information as deviation in the direction of 2, 3 or more spectral colors. Typical examples would be the RGB and YIQ systems respectively. [Miszalok and Smolej, 2001]<br />

==Color Coding==<br />
<br />
{{Quotation|The typical human eye can distinguish over 10,000 different colors. We use color everyday to identify, classify and determine the state of objects around us. In addition to natural colors, we use color codes for displaying color on the Computer. That is what Color Coding is used for. |[Sahler, 2005]}}<br />
<br />
==Models for Color Coding==<br />
<br />
===RGB===<br />
<br />
Shadow Mask Color CRTs consist of Red/Green/Blue triples, which are selectively excited through three cathode rays (accelerated through 3 separate anode voltages) Each combination of the voltages applied creates its own characteristical color, so it is natural to characterize different colors through the intensity ratios. The Shadow-Mask-Color-CRTs can not show all the colors, that a human eye can perceive. On the other a significant portion of possible colors can be comfortably described by the three RGB values. This simple color coding has accepted elatively fast and ound its way into all operating systems, image formats and programming languages. The acceptance level is also one of the reasons for use of this technology in all flat panel displays. The final result is that the RGB model is the most important and universal color coding convention. The RGB model may be satisfactory for display purposes, but unfortunately has limitations, which make it less than useful for applications, where the color is not supposed to depend from the display used to create or display it. [Miszalok and Smolej, 2001]<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:3DVecModelRGB.JPG|thumb|400px|left|3D-vector space of the RGB-color model]] <br />
[[Image:RGB.JPG|thumb|300px|none|RGB Image]]<br />
<br />
===CMY===<br />
<br />
An active image display must fill its dark surface with light, i.e. combine the red, green and blue components into the final colors. When all three primary colors are added in equal proportions, a white color results. <br />
A printer creates the colors the opposite way: it must create colors by eliminating - i..e. subtracting - the red, green and blue colors from the white paper background. By subtracting equal proportions of the primary colors a black color can be created. To achieve this one needs Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, colors which are complementary to RGB. The resulting CMY model is a straightforward complement of the RGB-Modell. The conversion from RGB into CMY is given by the following equations:<br />
C = 255 - R; M = 255 - G; Y = 255 - B [Miszalok and Smolej, 2001]<br />

===YIQ and YUV===<br />
<br />
In TV broadcasting the color is for all practical purposes an addition to the black and white information, provided by the so-called Y-signal: Y = g1*R+ g2*G + g3*B where g1+g2+g3 = 1.0. Two additional low-bandwidth signal pathways transport the color information in a form of weighted difference between the real signal and the Y component. <br />
<br />
YIQ:<br />
is used in color TV norm NTSC (America and Japan).<br />
<br />
YUV:<br />
is used in the PAL colorTV norm (Europe, Africa, Asia except for Japan, Australia) and in digital video. YUV uses similar signals as YIQ (with different weights, however, and using a coordinate system, rotated 33 degrees) but with a higher bandwidth and correspondingly higher quality. [Miszalok and Smolej, 2001]<br />
<br />
===HLS, HSV, HVC===<br />
<br />
These color models reflect the human color vision better than the RGB, CMY, YUV and YIQ models, which are targeted primarily for hardware applications. HLS, HSV, HVC are better suited for human than for electronic communication.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''HLS''' is the abreviation for Hue-Lightness-Saturation.<br />
<br />
The HLS-Model can be best understood by an analogy of a painter deciding for a color he or she will apply:<br />
(1) choose first a pure color (=Hue). <br />
(2) add white pigment to it, so that it loses a little of its individuality (=Saturation).<br />
(3) Now add the black pigment, so that the color is not too bright (=Lightness)<br />
<br />
The three coordinates H, L and S of this system can be easily visualized as follows:<br />
Pure colors are found at the outer border of a horizontal color circle. The hue can be interpreted as the polar angle, going from red (0 degrees), green (120), blue (240) back to red. <br />
The circle is closed to the outside, on the other side any point within the circle stands for some color. The closer to the center of the circle the higher the proportion of the white color. The center of the circle is colorless white.<br />
Below this level other color circles are positioned in a cylindrical fashion. The lower they are, the darker they get. Descending along the vertical axis of the system from its top down to the bottom, one crosses from bright white color down to complete black. Off-axis, for instance for hue=red, one descends from bright red down to dark red, with the degree of color saturation depending on how far off-axis we are. Note that bright red is not as bright as bright white, which, additional to bright red, also contains bright green and bright blue. <br />
This is why the final form of an HLS system consists of two tops (rotational pyramids), with their bottom sides glued together. The top point denotates absolute white, the bottom absolute black and the middle circle a circular approximation of all available colors at an intermediate intensity.<br />
The Hue coordinate is described by an angle between 0 and 360 degrees, the Lightness (vertical axis) and Saturation (radial distance from the Lightness axis) with values between 0.0 and 1.0. The maximal color saturation possible depends on Lightness. Halfway from the top (L=0.5) the maximum saturation (in other words the radius of the circle) is S=1.0. The red color for instance thus has coordinates like H = 0 Degrees, L = 0.5 and S = 1.0.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:HLS.JPG|thumb|500px|center]] <br />
<br />
'''HSV''' is an abbreviation for Hue-Saturation-Value.<br />
This system is identical to HLS, just that instead of Lightness the vertical coordinate is named value<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:HSV.JPG|thumb|400px|center]] <br />
<br />
'''HVC''' is an abreviation of Hue-Value-Chroma.<br />
This is a practical color coordinate system, designed about 1900 by a physicist A. Munsell. It is based on a set of samples, whose production is carefully controlled to ensure repeatability. The samples have been selected in such a fashion that from the point of view of human vision they sample the seeable colors in equidistant fashion. It is good in cases when subjective impression of the color is asked for but less useful in case of technical systems. [Miszalok and Smolej, 2001]<br />

<div>==Definition(s)==<br />
<br />
{{Quotation|Chartjunk is a term for unnecessary or confusing visual elements in charts and graphs. Markings and visual elements can be called chartjunk if they are not part of the minimum set of visuals necessary to communicate the information understandably. Examples of unnecessary elements which might be called chartjunk include heavy or dark grid lines, ornamented chart axes and display frames, pictures or icons within data graphs, and ornamental shading.|[wikipedia.org, 2005]}}<br />
<br />
{{Quotation|"The interior decoration of graphics generates a lot of ink which does not tell the viewer anything new. The purpose of the decoration varies - to make the graphic appear more scientific, to enliven the display, to give the designer an opportunity to exercise artistic skill. Regardless of the cause, it is all non-data-ink or redundant data-ink, and it is often chartjunk."|[Tufte, 1983]}}<br />

<br />
==Key Words==<br />
Chart Junk, Unecessary Information, 3D Bar<br />
<br />
==Abstract==<br />
With modern technologies in the field of office work, reporting and presenting got a major boost in the last few years. The everywhere available color beamer for presentations and easily accessible software has forced a tremendous rise in colorful and media enriched presentations throughout branches.<br />
Does more color and media always help to get the point of a message? Or is it mostly distracting the viewer from the spot of interest? This article wants to focus on what is called "Chart Junk" and defines the parts of charts that are not carrying essentail information, that are not even neutral, but which do disturb the visualization of the data.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
===3D Bar Chart===<br />
The Icon of the Microsoft&reg; Office Excel "Diagramm-Assistent" shows exactly what it mostly produces, namely ''Chart Junk''. This can be easily seen when we enlarge the picture and mark the points which do not carry information.<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[Image:Icon3.jpg|MS-Icon]]<br><br />
[The Microsoft Coorporation, 2002]<br />
</center><br />
<br />
The following picture of a 3D Barplot in Excel shows which parts do not carry information and are thus just distracting the viewer away from the real point of interest. This is the height of the bars, which represents some numerical value.<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[Image:3Dbars02.jpg|250px|3D-bars]]<br><br />
[Seyfang, 2005]<br />
</center><br />
<br />
There is no information in the use of the 3rd dimension which heavily influences the pictures and very much drives the attention towards the depth of the bars and the underlying grid. But this is not at all the information which schould be transported.<br />
<br />
As a very important fact, the proportions of the areas represented by 3D bars are not in a relation to the actual data value represented. This is because the bar is more or less represented with the front part, the rectangle, and in addition to this with the two parts giving the impression of the 3rd dimension (which are chart junk per definition). The mistake in the proportion is called [[Teaching:TUW_-_UE_InfoVis_WS_2005/06_-_Gruppe_G4_-_Aufgabe_1_-_Lie_Factor|lie factor]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<!--<br />
One may also want to consider the following error in the proportion of the actually visible areas of a 3D bar.<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[Image:Proportion.gif]]<br />
</center><br />
<br />
The area providing the impression of the third dimension is chart junk per definition. Furthermore, the presented mistake in the proportion of the area and the represented value is considered to be the --><br />
<br />
===Presentation===<br />
The image below also gives a good idea what is meant by "Chart Junk". The Dollar signs are not at all helpful for the point of interest. This is the way the amount of money develops over the years. As the example shows, this is best presented by a simple line [Maggie Elgin, 2005].<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[Image:Junk1.gif]]<br><br />
[Maggie Elgin, 2005]<br />
</center><br />
<br />
===Confusing graphic===<br />
<br />
The following graphic also contains chart junk. The logos giving a hint what the lines are dealing with are far more than the minimum needed to present the desired information. This goes along with the definition of chart junk as found on wikipedia.org.<br />
<br />
<center><br />
<!--[[Image:junk01.gif]]--><br />
[[Image:Few04tracking-trends.gif]]<br><br />
[Few, 2004]<br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Conclusion==<br />
To sum up it is to say that Chart Junk is something completely unnecessary. Someone should always stick to the essential part of what he or she wants to deliver to the audience.<br />
<br />
Additionally most Chart Junk is produced because of vanity, and maybe even more because of bad software. It takes some time and experience to find out what is essential, without making boring and sleepy presentations and charts. This time is to be respected, and to be taken serious. Deliver data and information in a efficient and clear way is a major task, even a science.<br />
<br />
Maybe when you are working on your next chart or presentation, and your software suggests some fancy but distracting methods, you just consider the statement below!<br />
