“…With the advent of computerized maps, cartographers have begun to propose active legends that change color encodings as the user interacts with them [20]. This trend has also carried across into visualization, prompting interactive legends as input devices that both save display space and are intrinsically integrated into the visual representation [32]. In particular, Riche et al [24] evaluated the use of interactive legends for filtering and selection in multidimensional visualization (Figure 3), and found that they yield faster perception of data values.…”

Figure 1. Conceptual diagram of Surrogate Interaction for a 2D vector editor. All interaction with the surrogate is forwarded to the shapes. ABSTRACTDirect manipulation has had major influence on interface design since it was proposed by Shneiderman in 1982. Although directness generally benefits users, direct manipulation also has weaknesses. In some cases, such as when a user needs to manipulate small, attribute-rich objects or multiple objects simultaneously, indirect manipulation may be more efficient at the cost of directness or intuitiveness of the interaction. Several techniques have been developed over the years to address these issues, but these are all isolated and limited efforts with no coherent underlying principle. We propose the notion of Surrogate Interaction that ties together a large subset of these techniques through the use of a surrogate object that allow users to interact with the surrogate instead of the domain object. We believe that formalizing this family of interaction techniques will provide an additional and powerful interface design alternative for interaction designers, as well as uncover opportunities for future research.
