Description

Learn How to Design Effective Visualization Systems

Visualization Analysis and Design provides a systematic, comprehensive framework for thinking about visualization relating to principles and design choices. The book features a unified approach encompassing information visualization techniques for abstract data, scientific visualization techniques for spatial data, and visual analytics techniques for interweaving data transformation and analysis with interactive visual exploration. It emphasizes the careful validation of effectiveness and the consideration of function before form.

The book breaks down visualization design in line with three questions: what data users want to see, why users want to carry out their tasks, and how the visual representations proposed can also be constructed and manipulated. It walks readers through the usage of space and color to visually encode data in a view, the trade-offs between changing a single view and the usage of more than one linked views, and the how one can reduce the amount of data shown in every view. The book concludes with six case studies analyzed in detail with the full framework.

The book is suitable for a broad set of readers, from beginners to more experienced visualization designers. It does not assume any previous experience in programming, mathematics, human–computer interaction, or graphic design and can be utilized in an introductory visualization course at the graduate or undergraduate level.
