Wishful thinking

Or, what would you like to be able to do?

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Wishful thinking prompts

  • What would you like to know?
  • What would you like to be able to do?
  • What would you like to see?

Data

  • cell
  • group of cells
  • cell class
  • section (slice) of cells
  • connection
  • connection type
  • entire database
  • something else…

For a cell class, search for cells that are connected to it by a specific connection type. For a cell, what cell types can be reached by n hops? For a cell, what class is it?

Analyze your items

  • Which would have the greatest impact on your work?
  • What are the patterns or trends?
  • What are the outliers? Why?
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Constraint removal

Or, what if you could do what you want?

slide-14
SLIDE 14
  • 1. Identify constraints

For a cell, what class is it? Constraint: Electron microscopy and chemical analysis are mutually exclusive

slide-15
SLIDE 15
  • 2. Remove constraints  what then?

For a cell, what class is it? Constraint: electron microscopy and chemical analysis are mutually exclusive Constraint removal: suppose you could somehow do

  • both. Then what? What would this allow?

Lunch and excursion

Or, what can you relate to what we’ve talked about today?

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Visualization awareness

Or, what’s going on in the visualization zoo?

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Activities

  • We will present seven visualizations from various fields
  • Informally discuss data and tasks
  • Relate aspects of these examples to what we’ve talked about
  • e.g., data, tasks, layout, interaction, colors, and aesthetics
