A Design Space for Visualization with Large Scale-Item Ratios (2404.01485v1)

Published 1 Apr 2024 in cs.HC

Abstract: The scale-item ratio is the relationship between the largest scale and the smallest item in a visualization. Designing visualizations when this ratio is large can be challenging, and designers have developed many approaches to overcome this challenge. We present a design space for visualization with large scale-item ratios. The design space includes three dimensions, with eight total subdimensions. We demonstrate its descriptive power by using it to code approaches from a corpus we compiled of 54 examples, created by a mix of academics and practitioners. We then partition these examples into five strategies, which are shared approaches with respect to design space dimension choices. We demonstrate generative power by analyzing missed opportunities within the corpus of examples, identified through analysis of the design space, where we note how certain examples could have benefited from different choices.
