Aesthetic and Practical Concerns in the Drawing of Euler and Venn Diagrams: Case Studies using SVG
نویسنده
چکیده
SVG is a graphical language standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium for the display of vector graphics on the WWW. It would appear to be precisely appropriate for drawing Euler and Venn diagrams so that those drawings would scale properly to different display devices. This paper presents techniques for using SVG for doing exactly this as well as investigating a variety of aesthetic considerations that might improve the “explanatory power” of such diagrams. Such features as the smoothness and convexity of curves, the angles and distances between their intersections, the areas of resultant regions, colors and other markings of the curves, as well has how to bring about these effects are considered.

Layout Metrics for Euler Diagrams
An alternative term for these diagrams is “Euler-Venn diagrams” but they are often inaccurately called “Venn diagrams”. Venn diagrams often look similar, but must contain all possible intersections of contours. In contrast, Euler diagrams contain any desired combination of intersections between the contours. Visualizations of Venn diagrams are often created by taking advantage of the symmetries...
متن کاملSubdivision Drawings of Hypergraphs
We introduce the concept of subdivision drawings of hypergraphs. In a subdivision drawing each vertex corresponds uniquely to a face of a planar subdivision and, for each hyperedge, the union of the faces corresponding to the vertices incident to that hyperedge is connected. Vertex-based Venn diagrams and concrete Euler diagrams are both subdivision drawings. In this paper we study two new type...
متن کاملDrawing Area-Proportional Venn and Euler Diagrams
We consider the problem of drawing Venn diagrams for which each region’s area is proportional to some weight (e.g., population or percentage) assigned to that region. These area-proportional Venn diagrams have an enhanced ability over traditional Venn diagrams to visually convey information about data sets with interacting characteristics. We develop algorithms for drawing area-proportional Ven...

3D Euler diagrams visually represent the set-theoretic notions of intersection, containment and disjointness by using closed, orientable surfaces. In previous work, we introduced 3D Venn and Euler diagrams and formally defined them. In this paper, we consider the drawability of data sets using 3D Venn and Euler diagrams. The specific contributions are as follows. First, we demonstrate that ther...
