Then they specify coordinations between visualizations for selecting, navigating, or re-querying. Developers can make independent visualization tools `snapable ' by including a few hooks. KEYWORDS: User Interface, Coordination, Multiple Views, Tightly Coupled, Information Visualization. INTRODUCTION The multiple coordinated views approach is a powerful and increasingly-employed user-interface technique for exploring information. Each view is a visualization of some part of the information, and views are coordinated (a.k.a. "tightly coupled", or "linked") so that t...
