Research Objectives

The Information Visualisation Research Group (IVRG) aims to make clear interactive pictures out of abstract information, such as stock prices, family trees and software design diagrams.
Well-designed images convey this information rapidly and effectively. The challenge for IVRG is to investigate and develop algorithms that produce such diagrams.
