    • Visual Explanation of the Complexity in Julia Sets 

      Schrijvers, Okke; Wijk, Jarke J. van (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Julia sets based on quadratic polynomials have a very simple definition, yet a highly intricate shape. Our contribution is to provide a visual explanation for this complexity. To this end we show the construction of Julia ...

    • imMens: Real-time Visual Querying of Big Data 

      Liu, Zhicheng; Jiang, Biye; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Data analysts must make sense of increasingly large data sets, sometimes with billions or more records.We present methods for interactive visualization of big data, following the principle that perceptual and interactive ...

      Bramon, Roger; Ruiz, Marc; Bardera, Anton; Boada, Imma; Feixas, Miquel; Sbert, Mateu (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Different quality metrics have been proposed in the literature to evaluate how well a visualization represents the underlying data. In this paper, we present a new information-theoretic framework that quantifies the ...

    • Augmenting Visualization with Natural Language Translation of Interaction: A Usability Study 

      Nafari, Maryam; Weaver, Chris (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      As visualization tools get more complicated, users often find it increasingly difficult to learn interaction sequences, recall past queries, and interpret visual states.We examine a query-to-question (Q2Q) supporting system ...

    • Selecting Semantically-Resonant Colors for Data Visualization 

      Lin, Sharon; Fortuna, Julie; Kulkarni, Chinmay; Stone, Maureen; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We introduce an algorithm for automatic selection of semantically-resonant colors to represent data (e.g., using blue for data about ''oceans'', or pink for ''love''). Given a set of categorical values and a target color ...

    • Rule-based Visual Mappings - with a Case Study on Poetry Visualization 

      Abdul-Rahman, Alfie; Lein, Julie; Coles, Katharine; Maguire, Eamonn; Meyer, Miriah; Wynne, Martin; Johnson, Chris R.; Trefethen, Anne; Chen, Min (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      In this paper, we present a user-centered design study on poetry visualization. We develop a rule-based solution to address the conflicting needs for maintaining the flexibility of visualizing a large set of poetic variables ...

    • Fingerprint Matrices: Uncovering the Dynamics of Social Networks in Prose Literature 

      Oelke, Daniela; Kokkinakis, Dimitrios; Keim, Daniel A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      In prose literature often complex dynamics of interpersonal relationships can be observed between the different characters. Traditionally, node-link diagrams are used to depict the social network of a novel. However, static ...

    • A Primal/ Dual Representation for Discrete Morse Complexes on Tetrahedral Meshes 

      Weiss, Kenneth; Iuricich, Federico; Fellegara, Riccardo; Floriani, Leila De (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We consider the problem of computing discrete Morse and Morse-Smale complexes on an unstructured tetrahedral mesh discretizing the domain of a 3D scalar field. We use a duality argument to define the cells of the descending ...

    • Towards Multifield Scalar Topology Based on Pareto Optimality 

      Huettenberger, Lars; Heine, Christian; Carr, Hamish; Scheuermann, Gerik; Garth, Christoph (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      How can the notion of topological structures for single scalar fields be extended to multifields? In this paper we propose a definition for such structures using the concepts of Pareto optimality and Pareto dominance. Given ...

    • dPSO-Vis: Topology-based Visualization of Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization 

      Volke, Sebastian; Middendorf, Martin; Hlawitschka, Mario; Kasten, Jens; Zeckzer, Dirk; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a metaheuristic that has been applied successfully to many continuous and combinatorial optimization problems, e.g., in the fields of economics, engineering, and natural sciences. In ...

    • Interactive Extraction and Tracking of Biomolecular Surfaces Features 

      Krone, Michael; Reina, Guido; Schulz, Christoph; Kulschewski, Tobias; Pleiss, Jürgen; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We present a coordinated-view application for the analysis of molecular surface features like cavities, channels and pockets. Our tool employs object-space ambient occlusion for the detection of such features and tracks ...

    • Streamlines for Illustrative Real-Time Rendering 

      Lawonn, Kai; Moench, Tobias; Preim, Bernhard (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Line drawing techniques are important methods to illustrate shapes. Existing feature line methods, e.g., suggestive contours, apparent ridges, or photic extremum lines, solely determine salient regions and illustrate them ...

    • Visualizing Motional Correlations in Molecular Dynamics using Geometric Deformations 

      Fioravante, Matthew; Shook, Adam; Thorpe, Ian; Rheingans, Penny (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      In macromolecules, an allosteric effect is said to occur when a change at one site of a molecule affects a distant site. Understanding these allosteric effects can be important for understanding how the functions of complex ...

    • Continuous Representation of Projected Attribute Spaces of Multifields over Any Spatial Sampling 

      Molchanov, Vladimir; Fofonov, Alexey; Linsen, Lars (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      For the visual analysis of multidimensional data, dimension reduction methods are commonly used to project to a lower-dimensional visual space. In the context of multifields, i.e., volume data with a multidimensional ...
