Need of every topic

2. Divergence, curl
3. Consider the vector field <x, y2>. Visualize the vector by considering some vector data points.
[Hint: consider some points calculate divergence and curlplot itwrite the
interpretation (sink/source, clockwise/counterclockwise)]. Write the nature of the field.
[Hint: consider one point calculate divergence and curl write the interpretation
(sink/source, clockwise/counterclockwise)]
4. Consider the vector field <x, y2, z2>. Write the nature of the field. [Hint: consider one point
calculate divergence and curl write the interpretation (sink/source,
clockwise/counterclockwise)]
5. Advantages of line/cone/arrow glyph
6. Application of line/cone/arrow glyph
7. All chart visualizations (Area charts, bar chart, line chart, dot chart, boxplot, histogram,
scatterplot etc) [Hint: Area charts work best when you want to track not only the total value,
but also want to understand the breakdown of that total by groups. Bar graphs are used to
compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. Line graphs are
used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line
graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes
over the same period of time for more than one group. Scatterplot work best when you have
paired numerical data, When your dependent variable may have multiple values for each
value of your independent variable, When trying to determine whether the two variables
are related, such as: When trying to identify potential root causes of problems. Use box
plots when you have multiple data sets from independent sources that are related to each
other in some way. Examples include: Test scores between schools or classrooms.]
[examples included in the slide]
8. Network visualization (matrix/ node-link) [new examples included in the slide]
9. Graph visualization
10. Treemap visualization
11. Visual variables/marks, mapping channels
12. Radial layout (polar plot explanation included in the slide)/rectilinear layout/ scatterplot
matrix/ parallel layout
13. Visualization w.r.t space constraints [Hint: for a dataset which idiom is suitable in a specific
space dimension (for e.g: MxN)]

These 13 topics are only for your reference purpose. “When to use which idiom”-----refer slide
content. For your CAT2, refer all examples and theories included in the slide (especially those which I
haven’t included in these 13 points). You can refer the R datasets for practice purpose (open the
datasettry to manually plot it using different visualization techniques).
