Abstract
Information visualization is a discipline that takes data as an input and produces visual representations of that data in a form that can be readily understood by people. The overall goal of a Visualization Toolkit is to provide a library that can be used by professionals to construct appropriate visualizations so as to allow their data to be understood and used in decision‐making. This article defines the major components of a visualization toolkit and provides details on how they can be implemented and the consequences and restrictions imposed by those decisions.WIREs Comput Stat2012 doi: 10.1002/wics.1224This article is categorized under: Algorithms and Computational Methods > Computer Graphics Statistical and Graphical Methods of Data Analysis > Statistical Graphics and VisualizationKeywords
