In this section, we will try to explain several terms used through the rest of the article.
- Data-ink - Data-Ink is a ratio that specifies how much of the visual presentation in a graphic really describes some concrete data. The equation looks something like this: data-ink / all-ink = data-ink-ration. The value of a data-ink ratio always lies between 1 and 0, the bigger the number, the better. The goal is not to eliminate all visual elements that doesn't have anything to do with the data directly but to minimize unnecessary visual data.
