In article <27DAA30E.20679@ics.uci.edu>, honig@ics.uci.edu (David Honig) says: >On a separate issue related to Eugene's comments about the information in >maps, take a look at Edward Tufte's recent books on displaying quantitative >information. They explain what makes a good graphic objectively and >are excellent reading. This prompts me to announce a new list for the discussion of information graphics with a strong cartography element, namely INGRAFX. I will be posting a fuller announcement soon, but those who are curious can subscribe by sending a note to LISTSERV at PSUVM.PSU.EDU with the text 'sub INGRAFX <your real name here>' without the '' of course. Tufte's views are a very likely topic of conversation, and a review of his new book will be posted soon. -- "...all we are saying, jeremy.. is give Peaks a chance" ele@psuvm.psu.edu
