Abstract Traditionally, time-varying data has been visualized using snapshots of the individual time steps or an animation of the snapshots shown in a sequential manner. For larger datasets with many time varying features, animation can be limited in its use, as an observer can only track a limited number of features over the last few frames. Visually inspecting each snapshot is not practical either for a large number of time-steps. We propose new techniques inspired from the illustration
literature to convey change over time more effectively in a time-varying Alark Joshi and Penny Rheingans, Illustration-inspired techniques for visualizing time-varying data, Proceedings of IEEE Visualization 2005, pp. 679-686.
