Summary

The library of dashboard display media that I've proposed in this chapter is certainly not comprehensive, nor will it remain unchanged as time goes on. As new graphic inventions emerge that suit the purpose and design constraints of dashboards, this library will continue to grow, but I expect that it will do so slowly. Just because a vendor introduces a new visualization technique doesn't mean it belongs on a dashboard. Let's keep the vision true to form and effective for enlightening and efficient communication.
