Text Visualization Browser : A Visual Survey of Text Visualization Techniques
Kostiantyn Kucher, Andreas Kerren · 2014
Figure 1: The web-based user interface of our visual survey. By using the interaction panel on the left hand side, researchers can look for specific visualization techniques and filter out entries with respect to a set of categories (cf. the taxonomy given in Sect. 2). Details for a selected entry are shown by clicking on a thumbnail image in the main view. The survey contains 100 categorized visualization techniques by June 24, 2014. Text visualization has become a growing and increasingly impor-tant subfield of information visualization. Thus, it is getting harder for researchers to look for related work with specific tasks or visual metaphors in mind. In this poster, we present an interactive visual survey of text visualization techniques that can be used for the pur-poses of search for related work, introduction to the subfield and gaining insight into research trends.
