AgentVis: Visual Analysis of Agent Behavior with Hierarchical Glyphs (2020)
Journal Article
Rees, D., Laramee, R. S., Brookes, P., D'Cruze, T., Smith, G. A., & Miah, A. (2020). AgentVis: Visual Analysis of Agent Behavior with Hierarchical Glyphs. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 27(9), 3626-3643. https://doi.org/10.1109/tvcg.2020.2985923

Glyphs representing complex behavior provide a useful and common means of visualizing multivariate data. However, due to their complex shape, overlapping and occlusion of glyphs is a common and prominent limitation. This limits the number of discreet...

When size matters: Towards evaluating perceivability of choropleths (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McNabb, L., Laramee, R. S., & Wilson, M. L. (2018, September). When size matters: Towards evaluating perceivability of choropleths. Presented at Computer Graphics and Visual Computing, CGVC 2018, Swansea, UK

Choropleth maps are an invaluable visualization type for mapping geo-spatial data. One advantage to a choropleth map over other geospatial visualizations such as cartograms is the familiarity of a non-distorted landmass. However, this causes challeng...
