Understanding Which Graph Depictions Are Best for Viewers

چکیده
We use data from a study of finding paths through three different graph depictions: node-link, centered matrix, and quilts to explore how time to solve is influenced by the graph structure: number of nodes, links, skips or layers. We use regressions to determine the influence of these attributes on pathfinding time across depictions. Furthering this idea, we begin to explore how individual users navigate through graphs. Fig. 1. From left to right, the same graph in: node-link, centered matrix, and quilts.

Depictions of Fruit in the Tiles of Golestān Palace
Golestān Palace is the remnant of the historic citadel of Tehran, which dates back to the Safavid period, and the Zandiyeh and Fatḥ-Ali Shah Qajar. But because of extensive repairs by Nasser al-Din Shah in 1905, most of the buildings in this complex are regarded to be from the Nasseri era.

متن کاملThe Problem of Metaconceptual Awareness in Theory Revision
In this paper we report an experiment that investigated the question of whether elementary school children have metaconceptual awareness of theory revision processes. Fiftytwo elementary school children (grades, 1, 3 and 5) were asked to select between phenomenological and scientific depictions of different astronomical phenomena and indicate which of these depictions were closer to “Reality” a...
متن کاملBar and Line Graph Comprehension: An Interaction of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Processes
This experiment investigated the effect of format (line vs. bar), viewers' familiarity with variables, and viewers' graphicacy (graphical literacy) skills on the comprehension of multivariate (three variable) data presented in graphs. Fifty-five undergraduates provided written descriptions of data for a set of 14 line or bar graphs, half of which depicted variables familiar to the population an...
متن کاملScheduling algorithm to select $k$ optimal programme slots in television channels: A graph theoretic approach
In this paper, it is shown that all programmes of all television channels can be modelled as an interval graph. The programme slots are taken as the vertices of the graph and if the time duration of two programme slots have non-empty intersection, the corresponding vertices are considered to be connected by an edge. The number of viewers of a programme is taken as the weight of the vertex. A se...
