The first data visualisation?

As a boy growing up in the 1970s, I was fascinated in particular by dinosaurs. I knew all their names, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus, Triceratops etc. And I could also remember in which geological time period they lived, and on which continent; and what they ate, often each other of course!

When a human brain just won’t do...

Creating fancy 'infographics' with SAS

I haven't seen an official definition of 'infographic' that I really like ... but in my mind it's something 1/2 way between data visualization & artwork. It borrows elements from graphs & dashboards, and combines that with an artistic poster. If you perform a Google image search on infographic you'll see
