After having read some of Edward Tufte's material, this struck me. I think the main point is: "make it legible" and (Tufte) "as informative as possible". If its not maximally aesthetically pleasing, then so be it.
EDIT: I apologize if this is trite, but I think that's really the whole philosophy of (La)TeX.
- titanomachy 12y agoThere is truth to this -- I do sometimes get caught up in irrelevant presentation optimizations. But sometimes the default output is clearly "wrong", or even nearly illegible. In the ideal world I have someone else (i.e. a publisher) to think about this stuff for me, but unfortunately that's not usually the case.
