Abstract
Thirteen graphical formats, each designed to display two variables, were subjected to performance-based diagnostics of integrality, configurality, and perceptual unity. None of the graphs appeared to be composed of integral dimensions; however, several graphs were classified as unitary or configural. When graphical elements or dimensions were combined into a single object, they tended to be associated with the unitary pattern of performance. Homogeneous object displays tended to be associated with configural outcomes.Keywords
