The benefits of information visualization may be increased by adding a visual representation of the data-to-graphics encoding employed in the visualization. This paper introduces interactive legends that provide both an economical format for conveying a mapping and a widget through which the mapping can be adjusted by users. The explicit representation of the visual encoding creates an environment in which the user can focus cognitive resources on understanding the displayed data rather than on making sense of how the visualization is organized. Legend keys also promote a continuous style of interaction that allows users to adjust the appearance of the observed data according to their understanding and interest. We show the flexibility of legend keys by using them to query the information based on the properties of interest and to focus the presentation on the objects and properties relevant to the current task.
