“…As a result, with few exceptions (e.g., [PBV16, TSLR07, PYHZ14]), most of the research papers we surveyed do not contribute a new generic technique but instead a tailored adaptation of an existing one. The most frequent visualization technique extensions we found were of node‐link graphs (e.g., [PVF13b]), heatmaps (e.g., [PSBS12, Gol12, Bes16, AAB*16, MB13]), small multiples and glyphs (e.g., [HZ16, LCP*12, CPG*16, CF13, PYHZ14], treemaps (e.g., [JB97, CS06, Tur94], arc diagrams (e.g., [OJK13]), parallel coordinates (e.g., [OJK13, CPG*16], and line charts (e.g., [Woo15, PBV16, Won16]). For the same reasons, sports data visualization is also propitious to the design of new interaction techniques .…”
