Abstract
A useful starting point for designing advanced graphical user
interfaces is the visual information seeking Mantra: overview first,
zoom and filter, then details on demand. But this is only a starting
point in trying to understand the rich and varied set of information
visualizations that have been proposed in recent years. The paper offers
a task by data type taxonomy with seven data types (one, two, three
dimensional data, temporal and multi dimensional data, and tree and
network data) and seven tasks (overview, zoom, filter,
details-on-demand, relate, history, and extracts)
