U12.03
Point density and aggregated display
Cards in this group · 5
- U12.03.1Overlapping dots in a crowded area quietly hide how many points are actually stacked there
- U12.03.2Merging nearby points into one cluster marker erases whatever pattern existed inside that cluster
- U12.03.3A cluster marker drawn the same size regardless of count teaches readers a false sense of uniformity
- U12.03.4Once points pile up unreadably, binning them into hexagons or a density surface restores a legible pattern
- U12.03.5The same point data can look like a few big clusters or many small ones depending only on zoom level
