Bicentric Diagrams: Design of a Graph-Based Relational Set Visualization Technique
Pages 1815 - 1820
Abstract
Visualizations can help amplify human cognition. In an era where networks are becoming increasingly complex, the desirability of tools to compare and contrast sets, relationships, and reach is significant. Motivated by a practical need articulated by corporate decision makers, this research presents our journey in designing and implementing bicentric diagrams, a novel graph-based set visualization technique. A bicentric diagram enables simultaneous identification of sets, set relationships, and set member reach in integrated egonetworks of two focal entities. Our technique builds on the well-established theory of tie strength to visually group and position nodes. We illustrate the applicability of bicentric diagrams with an example from technology co-occurrence in press releases. We assess the value of our technique using an expert-based value-driven evaluation approach.

Diagrammatic Representation and InferenceAbstractEuler diagrams are an intuitive and popular method to visualize set-based data. In an Euler diagram, each set is represented as a closed curve, and set intersections are shown by curve overlaps. However, Euler diagrams are not visually scalable ...
Untangling Euler Diagrams
In many common data analysis scenarios the data elements are logically grouped into sets. Venn and Euler style diagrams are a common visual representation of such set membership where the data elements are represented by labels or glyphs and sets are ...
