<p><code>Set your pasion to º450 F and find a problem to work with. Throw all ingredients into a pot and let stew for 2 days. Set your table with the tools that you have. Imagine what the problem looks like when it is solved? How do you present it to your guests? Stew is ready when these questions are clear. Stylize to taste.</code></p>

<strong>&#8220;The Da Vinci of Data&#8221; —New York Times</strong></p>
<p>Tufte&#8217;s writing is important in such fields as information design and visual literacy, which deal with the visual communication of information. He coined the term &#8220;chartjunk&#8221; to refer to useless, non-informative, or information-obscuring elements of quantitative information displays.</p>
<p>He uses the term &#8220;data-ink ratio&#8221; to argue against including non-informative decoration in visual displays of quantitative information. He claims that ink should only be used to convey and display significant data. In Visual Display, Tufte states:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sometimes decorations can help editorialize about the substance of the graphic. But it&#8217;s wrong to distort the data measures—the ink locating values of numbers—in order to make an editorial comment or fit a decorative scheme.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
