    <p>Here's a list of resources that I would suggest:</p> <p>Tufte's books are really excellent, although my favorite is actually his second book: <a href="http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_ei" rel="noreferrer">Envisioning Information</a>. Separately, I always found the <a href="http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html" rel="noreferrer">periodic table of visualization methods</a> to be entertaining. Ross Ihaka also <a href="http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/courses/120/" rel="noreferrer">taught a course on this subject</a> in the past.</p> <p>For R, learn <a href="http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/" rel="noreferrer">ggplot2</a>. The <a href="http://learnr.wordpress.com/" rel="noreferrer">learnr.wordpress.com</a> blog is an excellent resource for this. You might consider <a href="http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/book/" rel="noreferrer">the ggplot book</a> and <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0387987746" rel="noreferrer">the original Grammar of Graphics book</a>. </p> <p>Here's another useful article from the same site that you linked in your question: <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/08/02/data-visualization-modern-approaches/" rel="noreferrer">Data Visualization: Modern Approaches</a>.</p> <p>Some good blogs on the subject:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/</a></li> <li><a href="http://flowingdata.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://flowingdata.com/</a></li> </ul> <p>In some cases, you might want to do your data manipulation in R, but create the visualization with another tool (see, for instance, <a href="http://www.insideria.com/2009/12/28-rich-data-visualization-too.html" rel="noreferrer">this list</a>). Here are some of the best tools that I have found over the years:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.processing.org/" rel="noreferrer">Processing</a></li> <li><a href="http://prefuse.org/" rel="noreferrer">Prefuse</a> </li> <li><a href="http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/" rel="noreferrer">Protovis</a></li> </ul> <p>Lastly, an interesting open visualization platform is available at <a href="http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/" rel="noreferrer">many eyes</a>.</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
