Information Visualization
Not only produce pretty images, but aid the understanding of data
visualization is interdisciplinary by definition
The difference between InfoVis and SciVis is the type of data being
visualized: Abstract Data vs. Measured Spatial Data
Nevertheless, the differentiation is not 100% clear
Very different definitions out there

Small Multiples are very good in making changes visible along the
altered dimension
It enables the user to compare different views to the data with each other in a
very simple and convenient way.
