We propose "Aquanims" as new design metaphors for animated transitions that preserve displayed areas during the transformation. As liquids are incompressible fluids, we use a hydraulic metaphor to convey the sense of area preservation during animated transitions. We study the design space of Aquanims for rectangle-based charts.
