Structure-Driven Glyph Placement

Structure implies relationships or connectivity

Explicit structure: one or more data dimensions drive structure

Implicit structure: structure derived from analyzing data

Common structures: ordered, hierarchical, network/graph

Each kind of structure can help drive placement algorithm in distinct ways
