bullet that mentions Figure 2-31

rewrite to:

A user might need to temporarily view data through a different “lens” or perspective depending on the context of use. For example, when using a map, a person who is driving would be more interested in seeing information related to traffic and a simplified view of streets. However, a cyclist or pedestrian will get more utility from a view that emphasizes bike trails and topographic information.

description before Fig 9-6

rewrite text as follows:

All of this is related to a general graphic design concept called layering. When you look at well-designed graphics of any sort, you perceive different classes of information on the screen.

Preattentive factors such as color cause some of them to “pop” out of the screen, and similarity causes you to see those as connected to each other, as though each were on a transparent layer over the base graphics. In the example in Fig. 9-6, the red dots, blue Xs and blue squares are differentiated and allow for the viewer to consume a great deal of segmented information. The viewer can study each in turn, but the relationships among the whole are preserved and emphasized.
