== large issues ==
  −
choice of services, intended users, ease of learning, range of exploration, etc.
  −
== medium issues ==
  −
use of color, window management, interaction techniques, choice of widgets, data quality, etc.

# categorical data
  −
  −
:* provide appropriate high quality data for intended users
  −
:* simplify learning, prevent errors, enable shortcuts
  −
:* support exploration with proper widgets
  −
:* coordinate multiple windows
  −
:* strive for consistent terminology, color, fonts, etc.
  −
:* ensure label clarity, complete legends, full titles
