"A Deeper Understanding of Sequence in Narrative Visualization

Using visualizations to answer a previous question. 


Dialogue Transitions


Sequencing the visualizations in a temporal manner. 

Can be chronological, reverse chronological, or projecting to the future. 

Temporal Transitions

Two visualizations are linked to hypothesize causality. 



Causal Transitions

Sorting visualizations by the amount of filters applied to them. 


Granularity Transitions


Comparison Transitions


Individual prefers when the sequences between nodes of information or data are of lower cost.
