Table 1.

Strengths (pros) and weaknesses (cons) of the matrix and snippet approach.

Matrix Snippets
Pros

  • Shows ROI in context

  • The neighborhood of patterns can spark new exploration.

  • High numbers of (far-off) ROIs are comparable

  • Freely arrange and group ROIs according to respective features.

  • Ability to visualize data about sets of ROIs.
Cons

  • Impossible to compare spatially far-off ROIs

  • Multiresolution requires manual pan and zoom

  • Matrix ordering needs to be fixed during exploration.

  • ROIs not visualized in context.
