Zoom Star : a solution to complex statistical object representation
Monique Noirhomme‐Fraiture, Manuel Rouard · 1997
In the statistical field, graphical representations are largely used in order to help users visualize large amounts of information. Symbolic Objects are a new type of statistical data that are characterized by their complexity. Therefore, it was necessary to design a corresponding representation that allows all the needed information to be visualized without overloading the graphic. The solution we propose, called Zoom Star, is described in this paper. We have created a prototype that displays on the screen the Zoom Star corresponding to data located in files. This prototype has been developed with a view to adding it to a more complete software. This software, designed as part of a European project, will handle Symbolic Objects.
