Abstract
In this report we introduce new ways of thinking about different
types of visual data distortion methods. In particular, we clarify
terminology that can be used to distinguish between two visual distortion
methods, discrete and continuous lenses. The set of presentation techniques
that result from application of these distortion methods is extended by this
exploration. We describe a theoretical framework for use in future research
on these presentation techniques. This involves the exploration of general
distortion effects and how these effects are utilized by the visualization
tool designer. Finally, the usability of the concept of discrete lenses for
developing new interaction techniques is demonstrated by example applications.
