Design principles for cutaway visualization of geological models
SCCG '12: Proceedings of the 28th Spring Conference on Computer GraphicsIn this paper, we present design principles for cutaway visualizations that emphasize shape and depth communication of the focus features and their relation to the context. First, to eliminate cutaway-flatness we argue that the cutaway axis should have ...
Principles for Information Visualization Spreadsheets
Just as a numerical spreadsheet enables exploration of numbers, a visualization spreadsheet enables exploration and operations on visual forms of information, which are contained in cells in a grid. In this article we suggest principles behind the ...
