Abstract

Representing large amounts of data using flow maps involves dealing with the reduction of visual cluttering. This article presents a method for generating flow maps and visualizing products being transported from warehouse to supermarkets in a major retail company in Portugal. Our approach uses a swarm-based system to reduce visual clutter, bundling edges in an organic fashion and improving clarity. Additionally, the Dorling cartograms technique is applied to reduce overlapping of graphical elements that render locations in geographic space. Finally, different design decisions enable a multi-perspective visualization of the same dataset.
