Abstract
Venn diagrams are used to display all relations between a finite number of sets. Recent researches in this domain concern the mathematical aspects of these constructions, but are not directed towards the readability of the diagram. This article presents a new way to draw easy-to-read Venn diagrams, in which each region tends to be drawn with the same size when the number of sets grows, and tends to draw a grid. Finally, using linear algebra, we prove that this construction gives a simple Venn diagram for any number of sets.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Computational Geometry & Applications (IJCGA) is a quarterly journal devoted to the field of computational geometry within the framework of design and analysis of algorithms.
Emphasis is placed on the computational aspects of geometric problems that arise in various fields of science and engineering including computer-aided geometry design (CAGD), computer graphics, constructive solid geometry (CSG), operations research, pattern recognition, robotics, solid modelling, VLSI routing/layout, and others. Research contributions ranging from theoretical results in algorithm design — sequential or parallel, probabilistic or randomized algorithms — to applications in the above-mentioned areas are welcome. Research findings or experiences in the implementations of geometric algorithms, such as numerical stability, and papers with a geometric flavour related to algorithms or the application areas of computational geometry are also welcome.
