	Generating Captions
		Explanations about information graphics can be classified into at least three categories based on the structural properties of the picture, as well as the structure of the underlying data attributes and their mapping to spaces and graphemes.
		Notice that the caption generated for the graphic in Figure 3 differs from the caption in Figure 2, even though the dataset used for generating the graphics is the same.
		The system generates captions based on: (1) a representation of the structure of the graphical presentation and its mapping to the data it depicts, (2) a framework for identifying the perceptual complexity of graphical elements, and (3) the structure of the data expressed in the graphic.

	Applying machine learning to automated information graphics generation
		Information graphics, which include graphs, charts, and diagrams, are visual illustrations that facilitate human comprehension of information.
		Handcrafting information graphics is a difficult and time-consuming task, and relatively few information system developers have had training in graphic design.
		Moreover, handcrafting information graphics in advance is inadequate for an interactive environment, where different users may have different tasks in mind (e.g., comparing two data items vs understanding a trend) or may change their tasks in the course of information exploration.

	CSISS Classics - Edward Tufte: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 1983.
		One was to identify many of the mistakes and abuses common to informational graphics and to finger the main culprits.
		The second was to go beyond common errors to develop a general theory of data graphics that could be used to explore new ways to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
		For example, often multiple data series on a given graphic were differentiated by a bewildering array of crosshatching variations, causing visual "vibrations" that distracted the reader.

		Graphs, for instance, might be presented in three ways, The major types might be shown, such as point, line, area, column, bar, vector, polar, contour, surface box or slice: in addition column graphs might have an entry to include simple, grouped, stacked, floating, difference, range, high-low, circular and so on.
