The combination of these tools supports two complementary processes in a single environment: design as a constructive process of selecting and arranging graphical elements, and design as a process of browsing and customizing previous cases. SAGE enhances user-directed design by completing partial specifications, by retrieving previously created graphics based on their appearance and data content, by creating the novel displays that users specify, and by designing alternatives when users request them. Our approach was to propose interfaces employing styles of interaction that appear to support graphic design. Knowledge-based techniques were then applied to enable the interfaces and enhance their usability.

THis might convince people to tell the system more, to improve the results. - Partial specification - users sketch what they think the display should be ? is that easy?}, description = {sdasda}, interhash = {c517a308917d179992b2f5d4e0ff0bdf}, intrahash = {0dc41dfa591e9f3c6126abd701c49dc8}, keywords = {presentation information automatic visualization}, priority = {0}, publisher = {ACM}, timestamp = {2006-03-24T16:34:33.000+0100}, title = {Interactive {G}raphic {D}esign {U}sing {A}utomatic {P}resentation {K}nowledge}, url = {http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nernst/papers/p112-roth.pdf}, year = 1994 }
