Chart
Tamer aligns Excel’s charts with the best practices of data visualization, as
taught in the book Show Me the Numbers
by Stephen Few. It tames Excel’s charts, which seem to exhibit Microsoft’s
belief that “more is better”, by bringing them into line with the data
presentation philosophy that “simple is better.” We don’t need more choices—we
need a few good choices that really work.
Chart
Tamer improves the charts that we produce with Excel in the following ways:
It
limits the list of available charts to the few that are most useful, thereby
reducing the complexity of choosing an appropriate chart
It
provides a simple new interface for selecting an appropriate chart, which
guides us to the right selection when help is needed without bogging us down
when it’s not
It
adds three useful charts that aren’t currently available in Excel: dot
plots, strip plots, and box plots
It
revises the formatting defaults of Excel’s charts so that no extra work is
necessary to create charts that work effectively
It
provides colors for use in charts and elsewhere that were designed to work
especially for data presentation
It
allows us to quickly and easily improve old charts that were created prior
to Chart Tamer
