Where to go and what to show: more patterns for a pattern language of interactive information graphics
Article No.: 13, Pages 1 - 14
Abstract
Interactive graphics are an effective way of communication and information delivery, especially for complex domains. However, domain experts are rarely aware of the potentials of interactive visual displays and which interaction principles can be in charge for communication and teaching purposes. In this paper we extend a pattern language for interactive information graphics and present four new patterns. These patterns are all based on drag operations and explain how to define flexible area restrictions and how to change the visual appearance of elements according to their positions.
