U5.06
Density ceilings of charts
Cards in this group · 5
- U5.06.1A chart's real capacity for marks is set by when they start overlapping, not by how much data exists
- U5.06.2Past the density ceiling, the only real options are aggregating, sampling, or splitting into smaller panels
- U5.06.3The same dataset that's readable on a wide monitor turns into a smear on a phone screen
- U5.06.4A scatter plot of thousands of fused points still shows the shape of the distribution, not any one point
- U5.06.5Shrinking the marks to relieve overcrowding just hides the problem instead of actually solving it
