Study of Multiple View Layout Strategies in Visualisation

Abstract

Multiple views is a popular strategy in information visualisation, but for many years researchers have asked questions such as “how many views and what layout strategies do people use?” Answering these questions would help developers create suitable multipleview systems, but to date there has been little research into these questions. In this short paper, we present initial results of a larger ongoing study looking at how multiple-views are used. For this study, we built a database of images containing screenshots of visualisation tools from articles presented at IEEE VIS from 2012 to 2017. We select suitable images across TVCG journal, conference, posters and workshop papers. We closely evaluate the layout of 340 images of multiple-view systems and consider the layout topology of each image. Our results show that in the past six years, developers use on average (just over) four views.
