General visualization tools typically require manual specification of views: analysts must
select data variables and then choose which transformations and visual encodings to apply …

Image editing applications offer a wide array of tools for color manipulation. Some of these
tools are easy to understand but offer a limited range of expressiveness. Other more …

We propose a shape editing method where the user creates geometric deformations using a
set of semantic attributes, thus avoiding the need for detailed geometric manipulations. In …

Daylighting as a research topic situates itself at the interface between psycho-physiological
and environmental factors, bringing together questions relevant to architectural design and …

We present GEM-NI--a graph-based generative-design tool that supports parallel
exploration of alternative designs. Producing alternatives is a key feature of creative work …

Procedural modeling systems allow users to create high quality content through parametric,
conditional or stochastic rule sets. While such approaches create an abstraction layer by …

We address the problem of allowing casual users to customize parametric models while
maintaining their valid state as 3D-printable functional objects. We define Fab Form as any …

We present Visualization-by-Sketching, a direct-manipulation user interface for designing
new data visualizations. The goals are twofold: First, make the process of creating real …

A shape grammar defines a procedural shape space containing a variety of models of the
same class, eg buildings, trees, furniture, airplanes, bikes, etc. We present a framework that …

Effective small multiple displays are created by partitioning a visualization on variables that
reveal interesting conditional structure in the data. We propose a method that automatically …
