Charting in 3D, from Jim Sogi
In the style of Tufte, 3D charts can incorporate higher elements such as order flow, internals, volume, volume at price, depth, ad, highs, lows, news, relations to other instruments and other internal higher order info at price point by using color or shape or numbers themselves to indicate data or information at a glance. This effectively conveys multiple order information at a glance, rather than multiple tables. Some folks are chart rather than table oriented and info and relationships are easier visually in real time.
