Abstract
Our proposed framework for visualization of the domain of abstract conceptsA, into the domain of picturesP, defines the visualization functionf v which maps the abstract objects and relations inAinto pictorial objects and constraints inP. Here, we consider one generic and important class — ordering relation between the abstract objects, and how visualization of such relations should occur in general. For this, we propose a new framework, the Generalized Path Binding (GPB). GPB serves not only as a consistent model for visualizing such relations, but also provides a set of primitives for constructingf v ; this is achieved with a flexible algorithm which binds pictorial objects onto any paths in an arbitrary manner.
