classification of visualization system

Visualization systems can be classified in various ways based on their


purpose, functionality, technology, or application domain. Here's a
classification based on purpose along with examples:

1. Exploratory Visualization Systems:


 These systems are designed for data exploration and analysis, allowing
users to interactively explore datasets to gain insights.
 Examples: Tableau, Power BI, Plotly, Matplotlib (Python library), D3.js
(JavaScript library).
2. Explanatory Visualization Systems:
 These systems are focused on communicating insights or presenting
findings to a broader audience in a clear and engaging manner.
 Examples: Infogram, Datawrapper, Flourish, Adobe Illustrator (for
creating static visualizations).
3. Scientific Visualization Systems:
 These systems are tailored for visualizing complex scientific data, often
involving 3D rendering and specialized visualization techniques.
 Examples: ParaView, VisIt, VTK (Visualization Toolkit), Mayavi (Python
library for 3D scientific data visualization).
4. Information Visualization Systems:
 These systems are used to visualize abstract data or information, such
as networks, hierarchies, or text data.
 Examples: Gephi (for network visualization), TreeMap (for hierarchical
data), Word Cloud generators (for textual data).
5. Geospatial Visualization Systems:
 These systems are specialized in visualizing geographic or spatial data,
such as maps, satellite imagery, or GPS data.
 Examples: ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Maps API, Leaflet (JavaScript library
for interactive maps).
6. Temporal Visualization Systems:
 These systems focus on visualizing temporal data, such as time-series
data or event sequences.
 Examples: TimelineJS (for creating interactive timelines), Plotly (for
time-series data visualization), Gantt charts.
7. Multidimensional Visualization Systems:
 These systems are capable of visualizing data with multiple
dimensions, often using techniques like parallel coordinates or
multidimensional scaling.
 Examples: Orange (for machine learning and data visualization),
Mondrian (for interactive multidimensional data visualization).
8. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Visualization
Systems:
 These systems leverage VR or AR technologies to immerse users in
data environments or overlay data onto the real world.
 Examples: Unity with VR/AR plugins, Unreal Engine with VR/AR
capabilities, Google Earth VR.
9. Collaborative Visualization Systems:
 These systems facilitate collaborative data exploration and
visualization, allowing multiple users to interact with and annotate
visualizations simultaneously.
 Examples: Observable (for collaborative coding and visualization),
ZoomCharts (for collaborative data visualization).

This classification is not exhaustive, and many visualization systems may fall
into multiple categories depending on their features and capabilities.
