Design guidelines for correlated quantitative data visualizations

Various visualization techniques for correlated multiple quantitative data sets, which allow a researcher to explore a character of content, are fairly common tools in the visual analysis. The available methods and techniques for a displaying of different diagram types, are suitable for a partial solution to this kind of a practical problem. This paper represents an overview for some existing tools and techniques, regarding the quantitative data visualization. As a key part of the paper, the design guidelines for a visual construction of correlated quantitative data values, which are mostly applicable for interactive techniques, are presented. © 2012 Authors.
