Abstract
Business uses of charts and visualizations, and by extension business users, are usually considered mundane and boring. But they, too, want to get their audience's attention, emphasize a point they are making, or simply break out of the monotony of the limited palette of common chart types. I believe that there is ample opportunity to develop new approaches and build better tools that go far beyond the current one-size-fits-all approach to creating charts-much more than is currently recognized in the visualization community. The first step is to reexamine our notions of who business users are, and what they actually want and need.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) bridges the theory and practice of computer graphics, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI. From specific algorithms to full system implementations, CG&A offers a unique combination of peer-reviewed feature articles and informal departments. Theme issues guest edited by leading researchers in their fields track the latest developments and trends in computer-generated graphical content, while tutorials and surveys provide a broad overview of interesting and timely topics. Regular departments further explore the core areas of graphics as well as extend into topics such as usability, education, history, and opinion. Each issue, the story of our cover focuses on creative applications of the technology by an artist or designer. Published six times a year, CG&A is indispensable reading for people working at the leading edge of computer-generated graphics technology and its applications in everything from business to the arts.
