One excellent text that describes the principles involved in making
good graphs is:

	The Elements of Graphing Data
	William S. Cleveland
	Wadsworth Advanced Books and Software
	Monterey, California, 1985
	ISBN 0-534-03729-1

It has numerous examples of good graphs, a discussion
of graphical perception, and an extensive section giving
principles and techniques of graph construction.
