Recognizing Sketches of Euler Diagrams Drawn with Ellipses

چکیده
Euler diagrams form the basis of a number of visual languages. However, the existing tool support for creating Euler diagrams is limited to generic diagram editing software that uses mouse and keyboard interfaces. A more natural and convenient mode of entry is via a sketching interface. In addition, it is known that sketching, as opposed to using an editing package, facilitates greater cognitive focus on the task of diagram creation. This paper presents the first sketch tool for Euler diagrams. In particular, we describe the recognition mechanism and conversion that takes a sketched Euler diagram and converts it into a formal diagram drawn with ellipses and circles. The semantics of the sketch is computed.

Computing the Region Areas of Euler Diagrams Drawn with Three Ellipses
Ellipses generate accurate area-proportional Euler diagrams for more data than is possible with circles. However, computing the region areas is difficult as ellipses have various degrees of freedom. Numerical methods could be used, but approximation errors are introduced. Current analytic methods are limited to computing the area of only two overlapping ellipses, but area-proportional Euler dia...
متن کاملVisualizing set relations and cardinalities using Venn and Euler diagrams
In medicine, genetics, criminology and various other areas, Venn and Euler diagrams are used to visualize data set relations and their cardinalities. The data sets are represented by closed curves and the data set relationships are depicted by the overlaps between these curves. Both the sets and their intersections are easily visible as the closed curves are preattentively processed and form co...
متن کاملThe Impact of Shape on the Perception of Euler Diagrams
Euler diagrams are often used for visualizing data collected into sets. However, there is a significant lack of guidance regarding graphical choices for Euler diagram layout. To address this deficiency, this paper asks the question ‘does the shape of a closed curve affect a user’s comprehension of an Euler diagram?’ By empirical study, we establish that curve shape does indeed impact on underst...
متن کاملRecognising Sketches of Euler Diagrams Augmented with Graphs
Euler diagrams form the basis of many visual languages. Such languages are formed by augmenting Euler diagrams with graphs or shading. However, tool support for creating augmented Euler diagrams is generally limited to generic diagram editing software using mouse and keyboard interaction. A more natural and convenient mode of entry is via a sketching interface which facilitates greater cognitiv...
متن کاملEnvisioning sketch recognition: a local feature based approach to recognizing informal sketches
Hand drawn sketches are an important part of the early design process and are an important aspect of creative design. They are used in many elds including electrical engineering, software engineering and web design. Recognizing shapes in these sketches is a challenging task due to the imprecision with which they are drawn. We tackle this challenge with a visual approach to recognition. The appr...
