Abstract
With the widespread advent of visualization techniques to convey complex data, visualization literacy (VL) is growing in importance. Two noteworthy facets of literacy are user understanding and the discovery of visual patterns with the help of graphical representations. The research literature on VL provides useful guidance and opportunities for further studies in this field. This introduction summarizes and presents research on VL that examines how well users understand basic and advanced data representations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first tutorial article on interactive VL. We describe evaluation categories of existing relevant research into unique subject groups that facilitate and inform comparisons of literacy literature and provide a starting point for interested readers. In addition, the introduction also provides an overview of the various evaluation techniques used in this field of research and their challenging nature. Our introduction provides researchers with unexplored directions that may lead to future work. This starting point serves as a valuable resource for beginners interested in the topic of VL.
