Creating Lucid Influence Diagrams
This chapter offers guidelines for creating influence diagrams that are clear and comprehensible by careful arrangement of nodes, well-designed module hierarchies, and judicious use of color. It also describes how to adjust and align nodes, and customize styles for nodes and diagrams. Options include which arrows to show, node sizes, colors, text size, and font family.
Hierarchical influence diagrams can provide a lucid display of the essential qualitative structure of a model, uncluttered by quantitative details.
It is also possible to create impenetrable spaghetti!
