Visualization of Large Font Databases
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a novel system for interaction with large font databases. The system is an efficient tool for browsing in large font databases and as such it can be used by people in the Graphic Arts industry. The proposed approach is based on shape descriptors developed for visual characterization of character images rendered from different fonts. Here the descriptors are used in a visualization of a large font database containing more than 2700 fonts. By applying geometry preserving linearand non-linear manifold learning methods, in combination with a refinement process, character images of different fonts are organized on a two-dimensional grid, where fonts are positioned based on visual similarity.

Using Font Attributes in Knowledge Maps and Information Retrieval
Font specific attributes, such as bold, italic and case can be used in knowledge mapping and information retrieval to encode additional data in texts, lists and labels to increase data density of visualizations; encode data quantitative data into search lists; and facilitate text skimming and refinement by visually promoting of words of interest. 1 Why Font Attributes? Information visualization...
متن کاملA Font Search Engine for Large Font Databases
A search engine for font recognition is presented and evaluated. The intended usage is the search in very large font databases. The input to the search engine is an image of a text line, and the output is the name of the font used when rendering the text. After pre-processing and segmentation of the input image, a local approach is used, where features are calculated for individual characters. ...

متن کاملInteractive visualization of multiway tables
Many business data visualization applications involve large databases with dozens ofjields and millions of rows. Interactive visualization of these databases is dificult because of the large amount of data involved. We present a method of summarizing large databases which is wellsuited to interactive visualization. We illustrate this with a visualization tool for the domain of call billing data.
متن کاملTypographic Sets: Labelled Set Elements with Font Attributes
We show that many different set visualization techniques can be extended with the addition of labeled elements using font attributes. Elements labeled with font attributes can: uniquely identify elements; encode membership in ten sets; use size to indicate proportions among set relations; can scale to thousands on clearly labeled elements; and use intuitive mappings to facilitate decoding. The ...
