Abstract

Most information visualisation (IV) tools that are currently used do not support two of Shneiderman's seven interaction tasks for IV, namely the Extract and Relate tasks. These tasks provide support for the saving, loading and comparison of dynamic views. This paper describes the design of an IV framework that provides support for these tasks, by including two additional interaction techniques, namely Bookmarking and Coordinated Filtering. This framework was implemented as an IV toolkit, called re-View by extending an existing open source IV toolkit, called Prefuse.
