USING VISUALS TO CONVEY INFORMATION

Luis Borges Gouveia

2004

Abstract

This paper summarizes the literature on visualisation and information visualisation and provides a broad view of available systems and techniques. The paper also argues that the use of visuals can help conveying information, and that can be an advantage to the use of visualisation and information visualisation to support information management.
