    Data visualization makes complex data more understandable by presenting it in a clear and coherent way. A scatter plot displays data as a collection of points, each having one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and other variable determining the position on the vertical axis. Gestalt psychology explains that individuals perceive objects as shapes, letters, pictures, etc. as being whole while they are not due to laws like closure and common fate.
