Abstract
A method for determining user preferences for data visualizations is provided. The method may include receiving data visualizations. The method may also include collecting the shapes, the line segments, and the colors associated with the data visualizations. The method may further include converting the shapes and the line segments to polygonal outlines. Additionally, the method may include categorizing and measuring the line segments. The method may further include identifying and categorizing the angles formed by the line segments and determining weighted values for the angles. The method may further include calculating the total length for the line segments, and the total weighted value for the angles. The method may also include characterizing the line segments based on the categorization of the line segments and the angles based on the categorization of the angles. The method may further include scoring the at least one data visualization based on the characterizations.
