3D CHARTS - TAXONOMY AND IMPLEMENTATION IN A VIRTUAL GLOBE

3D CHARTS - TAXONOMY AND IMPLEMENTATION IN A VIRTUAL GLOBE

Charts are key elements in thematic cartography to visualize multivariate data. While taxonomies and construction theories of 2D charts are well-elaborated, a concise framework for classifying and creating 3D charts is still missing. In this paper, we therefore propose a taxonomy for 3D charts which...
