TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Tony Markos wondered: <<And how many of these systems rely on written
text to describe a dance? (Good God, can you imagine trying learn
dancing from a text-only description!)>>
The ones that Tufte displays are indeed visual, not textual, but some
seem as much like sheet music as they are like "pictures". I'd call
that a hybrid approach... and I'd also call trying to learn me to dance
from text, graphics, or a combination a pretty hopeless task. <g>
