Abstract
Existing information visualization techniques are usually limited to the display of a few thousand items. This article describes new interactive techniques capable of handling a million items (effectively visible and manageable on screen). We evaluate the use of hardware-based techniques available with newer graphics cards, as well as new animation techniques and non-standard graphical features such as stereovision and overlap count. These techniques have been applied to two popular information visualizations: treemaps and scatter plot diagrams: but are generic enough to be applied to other 2D representations as well.

Visual analysis appears to be functionally divided between an early preattentive level of processing at which simple features are coded spatially in parallel and a later stage at which focused attention is required to conjoin the separate features into coherent objects.

625 Citations1992S.C. Eick, Joseph L. Steffen +1 more
The Seesoft software visualization system allows one to analyze up to 50000 lines of code simultaneously by mapping each line of code into a thin row, and the user can manipulate this reduced representation of the code in order to find interesting patterns.

340 Citations2001Daniel A. Keim
Visual data exploration seeks to integrate humans in the data exploration process, applying their perceptual abilities to the large data sets now available, and to present the data in some visual form, allowing data analysts to gain insight into it and draw conclusions, as well as interact with it.
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer GraphicsThe Information Mural: a technique for displaying and navigating large information spaces
165 Citations1998Dean Frederick Jerding, John Stasko
This work has developed a technique for displaying and navigating large information spaces using an information mural, a two-dimensional reduced representation of an entire information space that fits completely within a display window or screen.
ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer SimulationVisualizing real-time multivariate data using preattentive processing
85 Citations1995Christopher G. Healey, Kellogg S. Booth +1 more
A new method is presented for visualizing data as they are generated from real-time applications that allows viewers to perform simple data analysis tasks such as detection of data groups and boundaries, target detection, and estimation on a dynamic sequence of data frames.

69 Citations1995Marla J. Baker, Stephen G. Eick
SeeSys is a system embodying a technique for visualizing statistics associated with code that is divided hierarchically into subsystems, directories and files that can display the relative sizes of the components in the system, the relative stability of the Components, and the location of error-prone code with many bug fixes.

This work presents a new incremental approach to DQI algorithms and displays updates that work well with large databases, both in theory and in practice.
Snap-Together Visualization: Evaluating Coordination Usage and Construction
15 Citations1999Chris North, Ben Shneiderman
Evaluation revealed benefits, cognitive issues, and usability concerns with coordination concepts and the Snap system, and two user studies explore the value of coordination usage and the learnability of coordination construction.
