Visualization-specific Guidelines (Tory and Möller, 2004)

• Since users’ information needs are domain and task dependent, design must either

1. be domain and task specific or
2. look at domain-independent subtasks such as those defined by Shneiderman [Shneiderman, 1997]: overview, zoom, filter, details-on-demand, relate, history, and extract.
