SageTools: An Intelligent Environment for Sketching, Browsing, and Customizing Data Graphics
Conference Paper, Proceedings of SIGCHI Conference Companion of the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '95), pp. 409 - 410, May, 1995
Abstract
Our approach views data-graphic design as two complementary processes: design as a constructive process of selecting and arranging graphical elements, and design as a process of browsing and customizing previous cases. We present three novel tools for supporting these processes. SageBrush assembles data-graphics from primitive elements like bars, lines, and axes. SageBook browses previously created data-graphics relevant to current needs. SAGE automatically designs data-graphics, interpreting the user's specifications as conveyed with the other tools. The combined environment, SageTools, enhances user-directed design by providing automatic presentation capabilities with styles of interaction that support data-graphic design.
