Information Visualization Toolkits Workshop2004 Sheelagh Carpendale Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Discussion points • Why • Support further research • Allow creation of an InfoVis of my data • Integration of algorithms • Distinction of InfoVis aspects • Representation • Presentation • Integration • Geometry only • Concept of Meta-Vis
Distance Metrics • distinction between orthogonal and radial layout • preserve topology, orthogonality, proximity
L2 = (x1- x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2 Lp = (x1- x2)p + (y1 - y2)p Eucildean distance 2 p generalizing distance Distance metrics - L2
L = max (|x1- x2|, |y1 - y2|) L = (x1- x2) + (y1 - y2) Distance metrics - L L Simplifies to
L1 = |x1- x2|1 + | y1 - y2 |1 L1 = |x1- x2|+ |y1 - y2 | L1 Manhattan metric 1 Simplifies to Distance metrics - L1
