workflows of biological experiments,” IEEE TVCG, 18(12):2603-2612, 2012.

Glyph-based Workflow Visualization

How to display many measurements at the same time?

How much information can glyphs encode?

VSL:StraightLineVelocity(radiusandcolour)

VAP:AveragePathVelocity(radius)

VCL:CurvilinearVelocity(radius)

LIN*:VSL/VCL

WOB*:VAP/VCL

STR*:VSL/VAP

ALH:AmplitudeofLateralHeadDisplacement(length)

BCF:Beat-CrossFrequency(length/circumference)

MAD:MeanAngularDisplacement(angle)

SLD:StraightLineDirecRon(shapeorientaRon)

HP:HeadPosiRon(centerposiRon)HW:HeadWidth(shapewidth)

HL:HeadLength(shapelength)

HR:HeadRotaRon(shapeorientaRon)

Uncertainty(colour)

FTA:TotalProjectedArclengthofFilament

FCA:Change-in-AngleofFilament

FTT:TotalTorqueofFilament(thickness)

FAS:AsymmetryofFilament(angulardisplacement)
