TY - CONF TI - Visual Visualization Surveys for Fun and Profit AU - Schulz, Hans-Jörg AB - As early as 1967 in his book "Semiology of Graphics", Jacques Bertin underwent the exercise of producing a hundred different visualizations for the same dataset. In summary of that exercise, he wrote: "To construct 100 different figures from the same information requires less imagination than patience." This remark epitomizes the required effort of ploughing through a seemingly endless number of encoding possibilities and options, as part of the visualization process. Today, almost 50 years later and equipped with modern technology, Bertin's observation remains just as valid. Over the past decades, visualization research has taken it upon itself to transform the advances in computer graphics and display technology into an unprecedented wealth of visualization techniques. Each individual visualization technique is certainly extremely helpful to solving the very particular problems it set out to address. Yet in combination, their sheer number also increases the burden on those who are trying to find their way through this heap of visualization possibilities.
