Visual form

  •   Visual form.
    • is either a direct visual encoding of a data object.
    • or a composition of multiple simpler visual forms.
      • F=Vt|{f1,...,fn}, where Vt=TaskName(D) and for 1 i n:fi=Vt|p.
        • Vt is a visual task that maybe considered a visual encoding function.
        • {f1,...,fn} indicate the visual form F is a composition of other visual forms.
  •   A example of a complex visual form.
    • v(Ti)={Iconify(Ti),Label(Ti.name), Locate(Ti,Ti.location)}
    • Define a complex visual form as {V(T1),...,v(Tt),v(map)}
