Summary
Using computer orientated methods for data analysis it gets necessary to think of the question whether the used software is reliable. This is especially interesting for graphics, where it is sometimes very difficult to check the results arithmetically. Therefore it must be guaranteed, that the user may rely on the representation. According to this the expression of “graphical stability” can be explained as a possibility to summarize some of the fundamental qualities of reliable graphics.
