§Dynamic queries
•Visual query formulation and immediate output
•Rapid, incremental and reversible actions
•Sliders, buttons, selectors
§Starfield display
•Complete overview: ordinal & categorical variables as
axes
•Colored points of light reveal patterns
•Zoom bars to focus attention
§Tight coupling to preserve
display invariants
•No errors
•Output becomes input
•Details-on-demand
