Abstract
In order to visualize multivariate data, it is often necessary to reduce their dimensionality. Visualizations based on the Dust and Magnet metaphor aim to present the information of the reduced dimensions via interactivity, while also supporting user comprehension by using a metaphor of ferrous dust and magnets. We compare two approaches to implementing this metaphor into a visualization tool along a set of core visualization tasks and propose extensions to make such visualizations more comprehensible and less misleading.
