Often the limited screen space and the risk of occlusion hinders a meaningful explanation of techniques or datasets by additional visual elements. This paper presents a novel way how views from information visualization can be adapted by the use of the well-known illustrative technique exploded view, to successfully face the problems described above. The application of exploded views gains screen space for an explanation in a smart way and acts explanatory itself. With our approach of illustrating visual representations, the understanding of complex visualization techniques is eased and new comprehensible views on data are given.", booktitle = "Proceedings of the 11th International Conference Information Visualization (IV'07)", pages = "301--307", isbn = "0-7695-2900-3", doi = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/IV.2007.50", publisher = "IEEE Computer Society", address = "Washington, DC, USA", location = "Zurich, Switzerland", }
