    Study Notes

    What is Data Visualization?

    • Data visualization is the process of converting raw data into easily understood pictures of information that enable fast and effective decisions.
    • It is used in software applications to provide an intuitive graphical interface.
    • It is applied to many areas, including military, private business sectors, and scientific research.

    Types of Data Visualization

    • Scientific visualization: specifically concerned with data that has a well-defined representation in 2D or 3D space (e.g., from simulation mesh or scanner).
    • Information visualization: concerned with data that does not have a well-defined representation in 2D or 3D space (i.e., “abstract data”).

    Importance of Data Visualization

    • Data visualization conveys complex results as understandable images.
    • Data visualization is emerging as an important fusion of graphics, scientific visualization, databases, and human-computer interaction.

    Why Do We Visualize Data?

    • Making data engaging and easily digestible.
    • Identifying relationships, trends, and outliers within a set of data.
    • Telling a story found within the data.
    • Reinforcing an argument or opinion.
    • Highlighting the important parts of a set of data.
    • Thinking is slow, but seeing is fast.

    How Do We Visualize Data?

    • Pre-attentive attributes: things that our brain processes in milliseconds, before we pay attention to everything else.
    • Types of pre-attentive attributes: length, width, orientation, size, shape, enclosure, 2D position, grouping, color (hue), and color (intensity).
    • Color in data visualizations: used to distinguish groups of data, represent data values, and highlight.

    Benefits of Data Visualization

    • Allows users to see several different perspectives of the data.
    • Makes it possible to interpret vast amounts of data.
    • Offers the ability to note exceptions in the data.
    • Allows the user to analyze visual patterns in the data.
    • Enables users to explore trends within a database through visualization.
    • Helps translate data patterns into insights, making it a highly effective decision-making tool.
    • Equips users with the ability to see influences that would otherwise be difficult to find.
    • Reduces the time and difficulty it takes to move from data to decision making.
