Abstract
A comprehensive framework is presented for analyzing and specifying an extensive range of visualizations, such as
statistical charts, maps, family trees, Venn diagrams, flow charts, texts using indenting, technical drawings and scientific
illustrations. This paper describes how the fundamental ‘DNA’ building blocks of visual encoding and composition can be combined
into ‘visualization patterns’ that specify these and other types of visualizations. We offer different ways of specifying each
visualization pattern, including through a DNA tree diagram and through a rigorously systematic natural language sentence. Using
this framework, a design tool is proposed for exploring visualization design options.
期刊介绍：
Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
