StoryCake: A Hierarchical Plot Visualization Method for Storytelling in Polar Coordinates

In Search of Patient Zero: Visual Analytics of Pathogen Transmission Pathways in Hospitals

“…For disease spreading, this encoding can be used to show contacts in the same ward and forms a key part of our approach. Research in storyline visualization has focused on optimizing the compactness of storyline visualizations (either automatic or users-assisted) [4,23,37,47,48,51,61,62,67,68], reducing crossings [25,32,70,79], plotting approaches [60], combining storylines with event-based methods [3], genealogical data [31], streaming and dynamic data [66,81], and contacts between living things or actors exhibiting similar behavior [52]. Reda et al [52] is the closest approach to ours, but it needs to consider all contacts in the storyline.…”

“…Storyline visualization platforms often use their visualization techniques to attract new ways of human interaction. StoryCake [17] provides a hierarchical plot visualization to highlight structure within discontinuous and nonlinear stories. StoryCurves [8] present nonlinear narratives with complex temporal disruptions through a visualization that plots the order in which events are told in a movie and compares them to the chronological order of events.…”
