图形感知是对图中的分类和定量信息的视觉解码。增加我们对图形感知的基本理解将使我们能够更准确、更有效地制作向观众传达定量信息的图形。本文描述了一个实验，进行了调查的六个基本判断的图形感知的准确性。两种类型的位置判断被认为是最准确的，长度的判断是第二，角度和坡度的判断是第三，和面积的判断是最后。被判断的对象之间的距离被认为是一个因素的基本判断的准确性。
Graphical perception is the visual decoding of categorical and quantitative information from a graph. Increasing our basic understanding of graphical perception will allow us to make graphs that convey quantitative information to viewers with more accuracy and efficiency. This paper describes an experiment that was conducted to investigate the accuracy of six basic judgments of graphical perception. Two types of position judgments were found to be the most accurate, length judgments were second, angle and slope judgments were third, and area judgments were last. Distance between judged objects was found to be a factor in the accuracy of the basic judgments.
