Abstract

The human acquisition of insight into multivariate data can be greatly enhanced if users can view and interact with that data graphically. Many Interactive Visualisation Artifacts (IVAs) have been developed for such activities, but they tend to focus on a single task. The flexibility of the VICKI (the Visualisation Construction Kit) environment allows users to create IVAs, with a level of functionality and appearance, suitable for their specific needs. This paper introduces the concepts behind VICKI and discusses issues of future development.
