I'm with Henry ... the scatterplot is fundamentally no different to two histograms side-by-side (though it is marginally easier to read).

- dbecker 14y agoThough a scatterplot conveys less information (e.g. the correlations between the two axes), I think it takes longer to process. It also takes more screen real estate than a pair of histograms.

- maxerickson 14y agoA scatter plot definitely shows more information than a pair of histograms. Who knows if that additional information will be useful. It would be nice if the article actually compared different visualizations of the same data, rather than showing histograms of 2 separate data sets and scatter plots of a 3rd data set.
- droithomme 14y ago> the scatterplot is fundamentally no different Actually it is fundamentally different as the histograms show aggregate data and scatterplots show individual data points.
