Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Data sets with large value range are difficult to visualize with traditional linear bar charts. Usually, a logarithmic scale isused in these cases. However, the logarithmic scale suffers from non-linearity. Recently, scale-stack bar charts and magnitudemarkers, improve the readability of values. However, they have other disadvantages such as various scales or several objectsfor visualizing one value. We propose the width-scale bar chart that uses width, height and color to cover a large value rangewithin one linear scale. A quantitative user study shows advantages of our design – especially for reading values.
