These include but are not limited to presenting many numbers in a small space, a synthesized view of the data, making comparisons easy, and the users thinking of the data rather than methodology, etc. Essentially, the overall graphics reveal the data.

This paper will review three best practices graphs:  voting results, categories performance and comparison, and marketing performance. While looking into best data visualization practices, we will also examine dangers and tainted influence using graphs.
