Multiscale Visualization Design Space

Mara Solen, Matt Oddo, Tamara Munzner

Designing multiscale visualizations, particularly when the ratio between the largest scale and the smallest item is large, can be challenging, and designers have developed many approaches to overcome this challenge. We present a design space for visualization with multiple scales. The design space includes three dimensions, with eight total subdimensions, additionally partitioned into four strategies, which are shared approaches with respect to design space dimension choices.
