Abstract:
Due to complexity, modern visualization techniques for large
data volumes and complex interrelationships are difficult to
understand for non-expert users and even for expert users the
visualization result may be difficult to interpret. 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.
