Visualization

Abstract

The interface to any visualisation application can essentially be split into two; the visualisation itself, and the interface that is associated with the interface. Despite the fact that the data plays a major part in any visualisation application, this is generally accessed only through either the interface or the visualisation. An important issue then arises over the location of functionality in the application. To be able to provide a usable and effective visualisation application (including data integration) where are the various selections, filters, customisations, and interrogation mechanisms located; the visualisation or the interface? The interaction mechanisms involved play a part in guiding this decision, but the amount of coupling between the visualisation and interface is also important.
