In the field of information visualization, the concept of “tasks” is an essential component of
theories and methodologies for how a visualization researcher or a practitioner understands …

In this paper, we study the visual design of hierarchical multivariate data analysis. We focus
on the extension of four hierarchical univariate concepts—the sunburst chart, the icicle plot …

The effectiveness of a visualization technique is dependent on how well it supports the tasks
or goals of an end-user. To measure the effectiveness of a visualization technique …

Hierarchical visualization can provide a useful abstraction for exploring and analysing
complex datasets. Many different methods for visualization of hierarchical data have been …

Icicles and sunbursts are two commonly-used visual representations of trees. While icicle
trees can map data values faithfully to rectangles of different sizes, often some rectangles …

This paper presents a comparison of visualization methods for hierarchical data, and
extends it by demonstrating an interactive approach that uses a combination of hierarchical …

Our ability to investigate biological entities has been improving over the years, thanks to next-
generation sequencing technologies providing an ever-increasing efficiency of data …
