Characteristics of Channels

Selective Associative Quantitative (Magnitude vs Identity Channels)

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Characteristics of Channels

Order (Magnitude vs Identity) Length

slide-39

Position

Strongest visual variable Suitable for all data types Problems:

Example: Scatterplot

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Position in 3D?

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Length & Size

Good for 1D, OK for 2D, Bad for 3D Easy to see whether one is bigger Aligned bars use position redundantly

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Example 2D Size: Bubbles

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Value/Luminance/Saturation

OK for quantitative data when length & size are used. Not very many shades recognizable

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Example: Diverging Value-Scale

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Color

Good for qualitative data (identity channel) Limited number of classes/length (~7-10!) Does not work for quantitative data! Lots of pitfalls! Be careful! Suggested rule:

Color: Bad Example

Shape

Great to recognize many classes. No grouping, ordering.

Idea: use facial parameters to map quantitative data
