2 December 2005 Information Visualisation Case Studies and Course Review Prof. Beat Signer Department of Computer Science Vrije Universiteit Brussel beatsigner.com
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 2 May 25, 2023 Analyse Case Studies ▪ Analysis of existing systems provides foundation for considering all the possibilities when designing new systems ▪ use analysis framework introduced earlier - what, why and how? - four levels of validation ▪ data/task abstraction - types of data abstraction - derived data - … ▪ visual encoding/interaction idioms - encoding design choices - faceting between multiple views - …
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 4 May 25, 2023 Scagnostics SPLOM … ▪ Use nine measurements that categorise the point distribution of scatterplots ▪ monotonic, stringy, skinny, convex, striated, sparse, clumpy, skewed and outlying ▪ Show measurements in a new scagnostics SPLOM ▪ scatterplot of scatterplots ▪ each point in the scagnostics SPLOM represents an entire scatterplot of the original SPLOM
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 6 May 25, 2023 Scagnostics SPLOM … ▪ Linked highlighting between views ▪ Selection of point triggers popup view with full scatterplot Scagnostics SPLOM What(Data) Table. What(Derived) Nine quantitative attributes per scatterplot (pairwise combination of original attributes). Why(Tasks) Identify, compare, and summarise; distributions and correlation. How(Encode) Scatterplot, scatterplot matrix. How (Manipulate) Select. How (Facet) Juxtaposed small-multiple views coordinated with linked highlighting, popup detail view. Scale Original attributes: dozens.
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 7 May 25, 2023 Hierarchical Clustering Explorer (HCE) ▪ Systematic exploration of multidimensional table ▪ Originally designed for genomics domain ▪ multidimensional table with two key attributes (genes and experimental conditions) and a quantitative value attribute (activity of gene under experimental condition) ▪ derived data is a cluster hierarchy of items based on a similarity measure between items ▪ scalability target: 100-20'000 gene attributes and 2-80 experimental condition attributes ▪ Scalability through combination of visual encoding and interaction idioms
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 9 May 25, 2023 Hierarchical Clustering Explorer (HCE) … Hierarchical Clustering Explorer (HCE) What(Derived) Hierarchical clustering of table rows and columns (for cluster heatmap); quantitative derived attributes for each attribute and pairwise attribute combination; quantitative derived attribute for each ranking criterion and original attribute combination. Why(Tasks) Find correlation between attributes; find clusters, gaps, outliers, trends within items. How(Encode) Cluster heatmap, scatterplots, histograms. How(Reduce) Dynamic filtering; dynamic aggregation. How (Manipulate) Navigate with pan/scroll. How (Facet) Multiform with linked highlighting and shared spatial position; overview-detail with selection in overview populating detail view Scale Genes (key attribute): 20'000. Conditions (key attribute): 80. Gene activity in condition (quantitative value attribute): 20'000 × 80 = 1'600'000.
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 10 May 25, 2023 PivotGraph ▪ PivotGraph idiom encodes a network derived from the original network by aggregating groups of nodes and links into a roll-up ▪ grouping based on categorical attribute values on the nodes (up to two attributes)
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 12 May 25, 2023 PivotGraph … ▪ PivotGraph idiom is highly scalable ▪ summarises arbitrarily large number of nodes and links of the original network ▪ Visual complexity of the derived network depends on the number of attribute levels for the two roll-up attributes ▪ PivotGraph complements standard encoding idioms for networks (e.g. node-link and matrix views) ▪ might be used as a linked multiform view ▪ Well suited for comparison across attributes at the aggregate level ▪ but not good to understand topological network features
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 13 May 25, 2023 PivotGraph … PivotGraph What(Data) Network. What(Derived) Derived network of aggregate nodes and links by roll-up into two chosen attributes. Why(Task) Cross-attribute comparison of node groups. How(Encode) Nodes linked with connection marks, size. How (Manipulate) Change: animated transitions. How (Reduce) Aggregation, filtering. Scale Nodes/links in original network: unlimited. Rollup attributes: 2. Levels per roll-up attribute: several, up to one dozen.
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 14 May 25, 2023 InterRing ▪ Visual encoding and interaction idioms for tree exploration ▪ space-filling radial layout for encoding the hierarchy ▪ multifocus focus+context distortion approach for interaction ▪ structure-based colouring (redundant) - useful if shared colour coding used to coordinate with other views original hierarchy selected blue region enlarged selected tan region enlarged
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - [email protected] 15 May 25, 2023 InterRing … ▪ Works well in combination with other views ▪ hierarchy view supports selection, navigation and roll-up/drill- down operations ▪ supports direct editing of the hierarchy InterRing What(Data) Tree. Why(Task) Selection, rollup/drilldown, hierarchy editing. How(Encode) Radial, space-filling layout. Colour by tree structure. How(Facet) Linked colouring and highlighting. How (Reduce) Embed: distort; multiple foci. Scale Nodes: hundreds if labelled, thousands if dense. Levels in tree: dozens.
