Scatterplot Selection Applying a Graph Coloring Problem
Scatterplot selection is an effective approach to represent essential portions of multidimensional data in a limited display space. Various metrics for evaluation of scatterplots such as scagnostics have been presented and applied to scatterplot selection. This paper presents a new scatterplot selection technique that applies multiple metrics. The technique firstly calculates scores of scatterplots with multiple metrics and then constructs a graph by connecting similar scatterplots. The technique applies a graph coloring problem so that different colors are assigned to similar scatterplots. We can extract a set of various scatterplots by selecting them that the specific same color is assigned. This paper introduces visualization examples with a retail dataset containing multidimensional climate and sales values.
