Multimodal Visualization Of Geometrical Constructions
We present an environment for multimodal visualization of geometrical constructions, including both graphical and textual realizations. The graphic interface is programmed by direct manipulation, and this process is mirrored in the text. The text resembles a program written in a classical programming language, but no computer science knowledge is required. The guiding principle is that of textu...
متن کاملTypoTweet Maps: Characterizing Urban Areas through Typographic Social Media Visualization
Abstract Analyzing the important events and news stories that have captured the public interest in a city can be useful for determining the topics that are vital to the people that live there. Social media data, such as tweets, provides a useful and ever-churning feed of data to analyze for this purpose. For even a moderately-sized city, however, individual neighborhoods can have very different...
متن کاملEvaluating Social Navigation Visualization in Online Geographic Maps
Social navigation enables emergent collaboration between independent collaborators by exposing the behavior of each individual. This is a powerful idea for web-based visualization, where the work of one user can inform other users interacting with the same visualization. We present results from a crowdsourced user study evaluating the value of such social navigation cues for a geographic map se...
متن کاملConstructions for perfect maps and pseudorandom arrays
Abslracl-A construction of perfect maps, i.e., periodic r X u binary arrays in which each n X m binary matrix appears exactly once, is given. A similar constrnction leads to arrays in which only the zero n X m matrix does not appear and to a construction in which only a few n X m binary matrices do not appear. A generalization to the nonbinary case is also given. The constructions involve an in...
متن کاملPower domain constructions
The variety of power domain constructions proposed in the literature is put into a general algebraic framework. Power constructions are considered algebras on a higher level: for every ground domain, there is a power domain whose algebraic structure is speciied by means of axioms concerning the algebraic properties of the basic operations empty set, union, singleton, and extension of functions....
