The text defines graphics and develops general theory through analysis of information, properties of graphic systems, and the rules governing them. It details the invariant components, their ordering, and measures such as number, length, and organizational levels. The work then connects retinal variables and plane representation to diagram, map, and efficiency, including limits and reading processes.","JACQUES BERTIN  \nSemiologyof  \nGraphics  \ndiagrams
