Graphical perception is the visual decoding of the quantitative and qualitative information encoded on graphs. Recent investigations have uncovered basic principles of human graphical perception that have important implications for the display of data. The computer graphics revolution has stimulated the invention of many graphical methods for analyzing and presenting scientific data, such as box plots, two-tiered error bars, scatterplot smoothing, dot charts, and graphing on a log base 2 scale.
图形感知是对图表上编码的定量和定性信息的视觉解码。最近的研究揭示了人类图形感知的基本原理，这些原理对数据的显示有重要影响。计算机图形学革命刺激了许多用于分析和呈现科学数据的图形方法的发明，例如箱线图、双层误差条、散点图平滑、点图和以 2 为底的对数刻度绘图。
