Abstract

In this paper we discuss expressive visualization techniques that smartly uncover the most important information in order to maximize the visual information of the underlying data. This is achieved through dynamic change in visual representations, through deformations, or through changing the spatial position of parts of the data. Such techniques originate from technical illustration and are called cut-away views, ghosted views, and exploded views. These illustrative techniques unveil the most important visual information by a high level of abstraction. The change in visual representation or spatial position is done in a way that is easily perceivable and the overall visual harmony is preserved.
