Title
Temporal Data Visualization Technique Based on Treemap
Abstract
Many information visualization techniques and tools have been created to analyze and understand temporal data. However, it is noticeable that time dimension is underused in most techniques and tools, used only as an aid in the search for patterns and answers. Therefore, this paper proposes an adaptation of the treemap joined with the calendar metaphor, using time as main attribute to hierarchy configuration and drill down navigation. Time granularity is flexible on granularity levels, and a grouping configuration of one level is used to display the calendar visual representation of that same granularity level. Furthermore, user interaction breadcrumbs are applied in order to provide better linear analysis of temporal characteristics of data without losing data overview. It is also possible to compare multiple different views of various time subsets.
