Graphics for uncertainty

Generic Graphics for Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis

We discuss graphical methods which may be employed generically for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. This field is rather new, and the literature reveals very little in the way of theoretical development. Perhaps it is the nature of these methods that one simply ‘sees’ what is going on. Apart from statistical reference books [Cleveland, 1993] which focus on visualizing data, the main source...

Vision for Graphics

Creating compelling-looking content using conventional graphics techniques is often laborious and requires significant artistry and experience. Two related issues that we’ve been investigating are how this content-creation process can be simplified without sacrificing quality, and how rendering can be made photorealistic or compelling. In this paper, we describe how images and videos can be pro...

Executable Graphics for PBNM

The specification of a policy is performed in a policy language, usually following a textual representation. However, humans process images faster than text and they are prepared to process information presented in two or more dimensions: sometimes it is easier to explain things using figures and their graphical relations than writing textual representations. This paper describes a visual langu...

Colour for Presentation Graphics

Choosing a “good” set of colours for a graphical display is an important problem, but one which many data analysis practitioners are ill-equipped to solve. Most current graphics systems provide very little assistance in making good colour choices. Indeed, most systems require that a user specify their colours in ways which are closely related to the hardware representation of the colours rather...
