Theory is an increasingly hot topic in visualization, expanding from its traditional origins in low-level perception and statistics to an ever-broader array of fields and subfields. Modern visualization theory includes color theory, visual cognition, visual grammars, interaction theory, visual analytics, information theory, and a growing but so far vaguely defined area of theory specific to visualization itself. In this panel, we bring together researchers who are studying visualization theory from these numerous different perspectives and ask how these disparate topics can combine and comment on one another to create a more unified body of theory and answer pressing research questions.
