| The concept of visual variables was introduced by [[Bertin]] in 1983. The list of visual
| | #REDIRECT [[Visual Variables]] |
| variables was later expanded by [[Mackinlay%2C_Jock_D.|Mackinlay]]. Sometimes visual variables are also called
| |
| '''visual attributes'''.
| |
| | |
| The list was further expanded by several later publications. Most of them are also grouping
| |
| the visual variables, e.g. combining ''length'', ''area'' and ''repetition'' to ''shape'' or breaking down
| |
| ''position'' in the three dimensions of space and one time dimension.
| |
| | |
| The process of mapping data to visual variables is called [[visual mapping]].
