ABSTRACT

This work presents methods for interactive analysis of unknown data and relations. It supports the selection of relevant parts of the data and the visualization of relations using different layout strategies for 2d visualizations and for 3d visualizations. Moreover, the user can select additional mappings to display extra information, with the help of supplementary visual variables in an easy way. Hereby the user can interactively create new visualizations and new sights and sift through the data in order to reveal discrepancies, to uncover trends or to provide vital operational insights.
