We propose a new framework for visualising tables of counts, proportions and probabilities. We call our framework product plots, alluding to the computation of area as a product of height and width, and the statistical concept of generating a joint distribution from the product of conditional and marginal distributions. The framework, with extensions, is sufficient to encompass over 20 visualisations previously described in fields of statistical graphics and infovis, including bar charts, mosaic plots, treemaps, equal area plots and fluctuation diagrams.
我们提出了一个用于可视化计数表、比例和概率的新框架。我们称我们的框架为“乘积图”，这是指将高度和宽度相乘来计算面积，以及从条件分布和边际分布的乘积生成联合分布的统计概念。该框架经过扩展，足以包含统计图形学和信息可视化领域以前描述的 20 多种可视化方法，包括条形图、马赛克图、树图、等积图和波动图。
