- 2Interactive guide explains Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio●Tufte's Razor: an interactive guide to the data-ink ratio https://tuftesrazor.scienceux.org/ # DataViz # Design # Scienc
A new interactive guide called Tufte's Razor walks readers through Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio, the design principle that charts should remove every element not carrying information. The guide lets users explore how stripping away gridlines, borders and other non-data ink changes a visualization's clarity. It is being shared among data visualization, design and science communities interested in clearer presentation of quantitative work.

A new write-up examines Edward Tufte's well-known data-ink ratio, the principle from 'The Visual Display of Quantitative Information' urging designers to maximise the ink devoted to data and strip away chart decoration. The piece reframes the idea as 'Tufte's Razor' and walks through what the ratio actually measures and how to apply it in practice when designing charts and visualisations.
- 9Mapping Every F5 and EF5 Tornado in the US Since 1950●Every F5 and EF5 tornado in the United States since 1950, mapped by the state it began in. 60 of 73,424 - fewer than one
A new data visualization maps every F5 and EF5 tornado recorded in the United States since 1950 by the state where it began. Of 73,424 recorded tornadoes, just 60 reached the top rating, yet those storms killed 1,350 of the 6,341 total tornado deaths.
