The efficacy of Euler diagrams and linear diagrams for visualizing set cardinality using proportions and numbers.

This paper presents the first empirical investigation that compares Euler and linear diagrams when they are used to represent set cardinality. A common approach is to use area-proportional Euler diagrams but linear diagrams can exploit length-proportional straight-lines for the same purpose. Another...
