摘要:

设计良好的数据可视化可以让查看者进行更强大、更直观的处理。为了帮助查看者直观地比较值以快速生成关键要点,可视化设计人员可以操纵数据值在图表中的排列方式以提供特定的比较。使用简单的条形图作为案例研究,我们经验性地测试了四种常见排列的比较启示:垂直并列,水平并列,重叠和堆叠。我们要求参与者在图表中输入他们感知到的模式,并将他们的外卖编码为比较类型。在第二项研究中,我们要求数据可视化设计专家预测他们将使用哪种安排来提供每种类型的比较,并发现与我们的发现一致和不匹配。这些结果为人类设计师和自动图表推荐系统如何进行可视化提供了具体的指导,帮助观众提取“正确”的外卖。

英文摘要:

Well-designed data visualizations can lead to more powerful and intuitive processing by a viewer. To help a viewer intuitively compare values to quickly generate key takeaways, visualization designers can manipulate how data values are arranged in a chart to afford particular comparisons. Using simple bar charts as a case study, we empirically tested the comparison affordances of four common arrangements: vertically juxtaposed, horizontally juxtaposed, overlaid, and stacked. We asked participants to type out what patterns they perceived in a chart, and coded their takeaways into types of comparisons. In a second study, we asked data visualization design experts to predict which arrangement they would use to afford each type of comparison and found both alignments and mismatches with our findings. These results provide concrete guidelines for how both human designers and automatic chart recommendation systems can make visualizations that help viewers extract the 'right' takeaway.
