    Visualization Mosaics for Multivariate Visual Exploration
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013) MacNeil, S.; Elmqvist, N.; Holly Rushmeier and Oliver Deussen
    We present a new model for creating composite visualizations of multidimensional data sets using simple visual representations such as point charts, scatterplots and parallel coordinates as components. Each visual representation is contained in a tile, and the tiles are arranged in a mosaic of views using a space‐filling slice‐and‐dice layout. Tiles can be created, resized, split or merged using a versatile set of interaction techniques, and the visual representation of individual tiles can also be dynamically changed to another representation. Because each tile is self‐contained and independent, it can be implemented in any programming language, on any platform and using any visual representation. We also propose a formalism for expressing visualization mosaics. A Web‐based implementation called MosaicJS supporting multidimensional visual exploration showcases the versatility of the concept and illustrates how it can be used to integrate visualization components provided by different toolkits.We present a new model for creating composite visualizations of multidimensional datasets using simple visual representations such as point charts, scatterplots, and parallel coordinates as components.
