SCImago Graphica: a new tool for exploring and visually communicating data

Despite the increasing number of data visualization authoring systems in recent years, it remains a challenge to simultaneously achieve high expressive power and ease use single tool. In this paper we present SCImago Graphica, no-code tool which allows creation complex visualizations by simple drag-and-drop interactions. Users bind variables different encoding channels, specify settings each binding, from generates interactive graphical display. Due its efficiency use, Graphica is not only suitable for visually communicating data, but also exploratory analysis. We evaluate expressiveness through various examples chart construction catalog visualizations. The results show that makes possible create wide variety quickly easily.
