Table Graphics have been used in a couple of threads and in your books. Would you care to elaborate on this technique? I'm interested in the following:
1. data density
2. best scenarios for using table-graphics
3. issues with scale
4. small multiples of table graphics (ala Dave Nash's post)
5. Using table graphics for confections? Thanks, Sean

For background, the Base Realignment And Closure Committee (BRAC) stands up now and again to clean house in the military. It was dormant for about four years and then, with the fiscal challanges of Iraq, came back to make funds available through consolidation. The careers of hundreds of thousands of people are reflected in these numbers. Congress historically approves 85% of these recommendations.
