Abstract: Tables are sometimes treated like the step-children of the Vizworld. An after-thought or as place-holders for numbers. For me, tables are the sexiest visualizations in the Viz world; a good table conveys more to me through its simplicity than the sometimes confusing array of colors, shapes and sizes of a plot.
