Data attribute to graphical attribute mapping
Low level:
- Point (position, color, size)
- Line (location, length, width, color, style)
- Polygon (location, shape, size, orientation, color, texture,
translucency)
- Image (pattern, range of values, colormap, size, scale)
- Vibration (center, amplitude, frequency)
Medium level:
- Scatterplot (2-D or 3-D)
- Line Plot (raw, fitted)
- Surface (uniform vs. smoothed shading)
- Volume
- Glyph (arrow, sphere, box, star, stick figure, face)
- Streamline, Ribbon, Streakline (length, width, twist)
- Parallel Coordinates
- Dimensional Stacking
High level:
- Multiple objects of like type (streamlines, slices, glyphs)
differentiated by style, position, or color
- Mapping data onto objects (e.g. a surface)
- Translucent surfaces with glyphs, slice
- Multiple simultaneous views
- Surface geometry with streamlines
- More general dynamics (motion path, behavior)
