Abstract:Linear diagrams are an effective way to visualize set-based data by representing elements as columns and sets as rows with one or more horizontal line segments, whose vertical overlaps with other rows indicate set intersections and their contained elements. The efficacy of linear diagrams heavily depends on having few line segments. The underlying minimization problem has already been explored heuristically, but its computational complexity has yet to be classified. In this paper, we show that minimizing line … Show more
