Area-proportional Euler diagrams representing three sets are commonly used to visualize the results of medical experiments, business data, and information from other applications where statistical results are best shown using interlinking curves. Currently, there is no tool that will reliably visualize exact area-proportional diagrams for up to three sets. Limited success, in terms of diagram accuracy, has been achieved for a small number of cases, such as Venn-2 and Venn-3 where all intersections between the sets must be represented. Euler diagrams do not have to include all intersections and so permit the visualization of cases where some intersections have a zero value. This paper describes a general, implemented, method for visualizing all 40 Euler-3 diagrams in an area-proportional manner. We provide techniques for generating the curves with circles and convex polygons, analyze the drawability of data with these shapes, and give a mechanism for deciding whether such data can be drawn with circles. For the cases where nonconvex curves are necessary, our method draws an appropriate diagram using nonconvex polygons. Thus, we are now always able to automatically visualize data for up to three sets.
区域比例 Euler 图常用于可视化医学实验、商业数据和其他应用程序的信息,其中统计结果最好通过链接曲线来展示。目前,还没有工具可以可靠地可视化最多三个集合的精确区域比例图。在少数情况下,如 Venn-2 和 Venn-3,已经取得了有限的成功,因为这些情况下所有集合之间的交集都必须表示出来。Euler 图不必包含所有交集,因此允许可视化某些交集值为零的情况。本文描述了一种通用的、已实现的方法,用于以区域比例的方式可视化所有 40 个 Euler-3 图。我们提供了使用圆形和凸多边形生成曲线的技术,分析了使用这些形状的数据的可绘制性,并提供了一种用于确定此类数据是否可以使用圆形绘制的机制。对于需要非凸曲线的情况,我们的方法使用非凸多边形绘制适当的图表。因此,我们现在总是能够自动可视化最多三个集合的数据。
