Spatialtemporal Visualization

The easiest way to show spatial change over time: 5
side by side maps each showing a slice of time.
Single static map 6
Although most used for these temporal animations, order can also be used in non-
temporal animations and sometimes a selective non-chronological sequence is best to
emphasize relations between certain phenomena(weber & butten field, 1993 ).
Rate of change 14
The rate of change can be described as M/D,
where M is the change magnitude and D is the
duration of each scene.
With change magnitude (M) the amount of
change of the position and/or attribute value of an
object between to subsequent scenes is described.
The value of M depends on how dynamic the
phenomenon is and on the pace of the animation
(ie. how many frames per minute). If M increases
while D remains the same, the animation will
become more abrupt and "jerky".
If D increases while M remains constant, the
apparent change to the viewer decreases.
These are powerful tools in manipulating the
viewers' perception and should be used with some
care
