  • ColorCAT: Guided Design of Colormaps for Combined Analysis Tasks 

    Mittelstädt, Sebastian; Jäckle, Dominik; Stoffel, Florian; Keim, Daniel A. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Colormap design is challenging because the encoding must match the requirements of data and analysis tasks as well as the perception of the target user. A number of well-known tools exist to support the design of colormaps. ...
  • Towards Understanding Enjoyment and Flow in Information Visualization 

    Saket, Bahador; Scheidegger, Carlos; Kobourov, Stephen G. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)

  • OceanPaths: Visualizing Multivariate Oceanography Data 

    Nobre, Carolina; Lex, Alexander (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
