Scientific data visualization embodies topics in art, programming, and science. While we have mastered the techniques of creating various plot types in previous chapters, we hope that you have gained more understanding of creating effective plots from the art and science perspectives.
You learned how to think like a designer so that key points can be emphasized properly without causing too much clutter. You also learned how to think like a scientist so that you will be aware of some plotting conventions, such as the methods of reducing dimensions and the way to show statistical significance.
In the next and last chapter, we will explore the process of creating geographical infographics, which is entirely different from what we've learned so far. Please stay tuned for more details!
