I only got a garbled version of your message, but two good 
places to start looking to information on the visual
presentation of quantitative information are:

Tufte, E.R. The visual display of quantitative information, 1983
	Graphics Press, Cheshire, CT.

Cleveland, W. S. The elements of graphing data, 1985
	Wadsworth, Monterey, CA.

I've done a few experiments on this topic myself.  If you
are interested in specific (rather than review) articles,
I would be glad to send them to you.
