A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods
- Data Visualization represents quantitative data in schematic form with or without axes.
- Information Visualization enhances cognition through interactive visual data representations.
- Concept Visualization elaborates mostly qualitative concepts, ideas, plans, and analyses.
- Strategy Visualization uses visual representations in the analysis, development, communication, and implementation of strategies within organizations.
- Metaphor Visualization positions information graphically to organize and provide insight through key characteristics of the employed metaphor.
- Compound Visualization uses different graphic representation formats in a single schema or frame.
- Hy Structure Visualization includes Overview, Detail, and Detail AND Overview.
- Divergent thinking is a type of thinking also visualized.
- Convergent thinking is another type of thinking also visualized.
