Diagram Design A Constructive Theory

Diagram Design A Constructive Theory / by Thomas Kamps.

This monograph presents a systematic analysis of diagrams as visual representations of factual knowledge. The analysis shows that the design process may be divided into three phases: a data classification phase, a graphical decision phase, and a layout phase. Performed in this order, the three phase...
