Distribution Chart, with thanks to Tufte


Here is a second, non-geographical treatment of London Borough data. I've taken some of Tufte's thoughts about Data Ink so most of what's there is data, not decoration. Hence the axes, which are limited to the actual range of the data, letting you can sense where the zero point would have been. Then labelling the axes just to show bounds, median and quartile points. Next I will find 33 shades that are distinct but clear on a white background.

On the LeafIndex London page, click Crimes / Distribution.
