# Errata

Please, report any mistakes that you may find in the book to christian \[dot\] tominski \[ät\] uni-rostock \[dot\] de.

## 🤦🏻‍♂️ Known mistakes

- **p. 19, Table 2.2:** The dots in the table are incorrect. They need to be mirrored along the diagonal. Here is the corrected [Table 2.2](https://ivda-book.de/errata/tab-2-2.pdf).
- **p. 29, Figure 2.8b:** The order of the gray-tone colors in the map visualization is flipped and the grays are not evenly distributed. You can download a corrected version of [Figure 2.8b](https://ivda-book.de/user/pages/images/ch2/fig-2-08b.png) and also a correspondingly adapted version of [Figure 2.8a](https://ivda-book.de/user/pages/images/ch2/fig-2-08a.png).
- **p. 78, Mosaic plots:** The explanation is not consistent with the example in Figure 3.27. The text suggests that the display space is first split along the **horizontal** axis, then along the **vertical** axis, and again along the **horizontal** axis. In Figure 3.27, however, the first split is along the **vertical** axis, then along the **horizontal** axis, and finally again along the **vertical** axis. Actually, one can start with either axis. The key point is to alternate between axes when splitting the display area.
- **p. 80, Typo:** "\[...\] linking & brushing." should of course be "brushing & linking.".
- **p. 142, Typo:** "\[...\] represent the view \[...\]" should be "\[...\] represent**s** the view \[...\]".
- **p. 230, Typo:** Subheading "Movment" should be "Mov**e**ment".
- **p. 313, 316, 333, References \[BHvW00\], \[DGH03\], \[SM07\]:** The Visualization & Graphics Technical Committee is wrongly abbreviated as TCVG. Correct is VGTC.
- **p. 319, Reference \[FS04\]:** The URL is invalid. The following URL can be used instead: <https://www.irma-international.org/proceeding-paper/intelligent-icon-positioning-interactive-map/32349/>.
- **p. 343, Figure 3.24b:** The attribution given for this figure is incorrect. The correct full attribution is: © 2005 IEEE. Reprinted, with permission, from Nocke, T. et al. “Icon-Based Visualization Using Mosaic Metaphors”. In: Proceedings of the International Conference Information Visualisation (IV). IEEE Computer Society, 2005, pp. 103–109. doi: [10.1109/IV.2005.58](https://doi.org/10.1109/IV.2005.58).
