Okay, you got me stumped! 🙁 I’ve figured out who Doctor Tufte is, and I know what onomatopoeia is (at least the audio version) … but I’m still baffled by this post. Any hints?

Ok, I think I got it now. The onomato-whatchamacallit reference is because the chart looks like an “A” — as in “Altos Research,” the company that produces them.

Now I can go to bed tonight fully content, without this issue bugging me. 🙂

Here’s the hint I got from Greg, “What is the title of the graph?” (My hint to you: The answer isn’t “Market Stats.”)

Wow. Do graphs ever have a way of speaking for themselves.

The chart of Mountain View looks like a mountain view.
