here are many open issues in data visualization and many challenging research
problems.hedatasetstobeanalysedtendtobemorecomplexandarecertainly
becoming larger all the time. he potential of graphical tools for exploratory data
analysis hasnot been fully realized, andthe complementary interplay between statis-
tical modelling and graphics has not yet been fully exploited. Advances in computer
sotware and hardware have made producing graphics easier, but they have also con-
tributed to raising the standards expected.
Future developments will undoubtedly include more flexible and powerful sot-
ware and better integration of modelling and graphics. here will probably be indi-
vidual new and innovative graphics and some improvements in the general design
of displays. Gradual gains in knowledge about the perception of graphics and the
psychological aspects of visualization will lead to improved effectiveness of graphic
displays. Ideally there should be progress in the formal theory of data visualization,
but that is perhaps the biggest challenge of all.
