WRAPPING UP
The definition of visualization changes by who you ask, and as a whole, the
breadth of visualization changes every day. As you come across rules and
design suggestions for how to present data, be sure to know their context.
In writing, there is grammar and syntax that is good to know, but where you
can bend the rules is also important. Certain movie formulas can work, but
often the ones that stray are the biggest success stories.
With visualization, draw from previous work and keep guidelines in mind,
but don't let it keep you from what works best to achieve your goal and to
communicate to your audience. As you've seen in this chapter, your goals
and your audience can change dramatically across applications. It's good that
visualization is a medium that you can use for a lot of things.
