DataInk: Direct and Creative Data-Oriented Drawing
summary
DataInk is a pen-and-touch authoring tool that turns hand-drawn graphics into data-driven glyphs by letting users bind visual attributes to fields, iterate encodings at the glyph and dataset level, and reconfigure layouts after drawing. It implements a central canvas, a glyph palette that lists every value, a layout panel, and template propagation so one sketch populates hundreds of marks. The prototype exports SVG, supports interactive re-mapping, and an eight-participant study shows people rapidly create and iterate personalized visualizations.
