چکیده

Abstract. We automatically generate Euler diagrams that are too large to be readable on screen configurations commonly found in Universities and offices. We discuss how principles from information visualisation can be employed to render large diagrams intelligible. Furthermore, concrete examples implementing these information visualisation principles are presented. This work is at an early stage of development.

Towards a Formalization of Constraint Diagrams

Geared to complement UML and to the specification of large software systems by non-mathematicians, constraint diagrams are a visual language that generalizes the popular and intuitive Venn diagrams and Euler circles, and adds facilities for quantifying over elements and navigating relations. The language design emphasizes scalability and expressiveness while retaining intuitiveness. Spider diag...

A Tool for Generating Interactive Euler Diagrams

We describe a tool for generating Euler diagrams from a set of region connection calculus formulas. The generation is based on a variant of local search capturing default reasoning for improving aesthetic appearance of Euler diagrams. We also describe an optimization for diagrams to be interactive: the user can modify the diagram with the mouse while formulas are still satisfied. We also discus...

Generating Euler Diagrams

This article describes an algorithm for the automated generation of any Euler diagram starting with an abstract description of the diagram. An automated generation mechanism for Euler diagrams forms the foundations of a generation algorithm for notations such as Harel’s higraphs, constraint diagrams and some of the UML notation. An algorithm to generate diagrams is an essential component of a d...

Partial chord diagrams and matrix models

In this article, the enumeration of partial chord diagrams is discussed via matrix model techniques. In addition to the basic data such as the number of backbones and chords, we also consider the Euler characteristic, the backbone spectrum, the boundary point spectrum, and the boundary length spectrum. Furthermore, we consider the boundary length and point spectrum that unifies the last two typ...

Generating and Drawing Area-Proportional Euler and Venn Diagrams

An Euler diagram C = {c1, c2, . . . , cn} is a collection of n simple closed curves (i.e., Jordan curves) that partition the plane into connected subsets, called regions, each of which is enclosed by a unique combination of curves. Typically, Euler diagrams are used to visualize the distribution of discrete characteristics across a sample population; in this case, each curve represents a charac...
