Abstract

Data Visualization is emerging as a tool to understand and explore data in various ways. It enables us to interpret, synthesise, and present complex and vast amounts of information. We use Data Visualization to represent the evolution of consumptions in 729 hypermarkets and supermarkets of the biggest Portuguese retail company, for a time span of two years. We aim to apply an Information Visualization technique in order to study how, through Data Visualization, we can represent, synthesize, and interpret consumptions’ data. The geospatial data enables us to represent the consumptions in the different municipal districts and to analyze how consumptions evolve over time. To present this data, we apply an isoline approach, introducing a new technique called iso-edges. We also implement an interface for the exploration and analysis of the data.
