STOOG - Style-Sheets-based Toolkit for Graph Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The information visualization process can be described as a set of transformations applied to raw data to produce interactive graphical representations of information for end-users. A challenge in information visualization is to provide flexible and powerful ways of describing and controlling this process. Most work in this domain address the problem at either application level or toolkit level. Approaches at the toolkit level are devoted to developers while approaches at the application level are devoted to end-users. Our approach build on previous work but goes one step beyond by proposing a unifying view of this process that can be used by both developers and end-users. Our contribution is a system named STOOG with a three-fold contribution: (1) a style-sheets based language for the explicit description of the transformation process at stake in information visualization, (2) an application that automatically builds interactive and graphical visualization of data based on style-sheet descriptions, (3) a user interface devoted to the conception of style sheets. In this paper, we present STOOG basic concepts and mechanisms and provide a case study to illustrate the benefits of using STOOG for the interactive and visual exploration of information.

This paper is concerned with the data structures, properties of query languages and visualization facilities required for the generic representation of richly annotated, heterogeneous linguistic corpora. We propose that above and beyond a general graph based data-model, which is becoming increasingly popular in many complex annotation formats, a well-defined concept of multiple, potentially con...
متن کاملFlexible Graph Layout for the Web
More powerful personal computers and higher network bandwidth has meant that graphics has become increasingly important on the web. Graph-based diagrams are one of the most important types of structured graphical information. Here we demonstrate how XML can be used as basis for contents-based delivery of graph-based diagrams. The main distinguishing feature of our approach is that it separates ...
متن کاملContext Sensitive Stylesheets for Scene Graphs
Augmented Reality (AR) enables users to visualize synthetic information overlaid on a real video stream. Such visualization is achieved by tools that vary depending on the underlying data or the task at hand. While some tools distort, filter or enhance the explored information little or no work has focused on the separation of style definitions and their mapping to scene objects. We target this...

Gravisto, the Graph Visualization Toolkit, is more than a (Java-based) editor for graphs. It includes data structures, graph algorithms, several layout algorithms, and a graph viewer component. As a general toolkit for the visualization and automatic layout of graphs it is extensible with plug-ins and is suited for the integration in other Java-based applications. Overview: Gravisto is a new ap...

In this paper we introduce the design, implementation and evaluation of the Dynamic Visualization Toolkit (DyVT) to support complex dynamic social network visualization. Dynamic aspects of social networks such as spatiotemporal as well as personalized information can be visualized in a common toolkit. To that end, an XML-based target language DyVTML is an extension of existing schemata enabling...
