This chapter starts with the definition of visualization and continues with the description of data visual rendering origination history and its purpose and advantages. It also argues that the visualization concept was created for humans rather than for machines. The chapter discusses the writings and works of several computer scientists in order to gain a better understanding. Furthermore, the chapter covers the exploration of cognitive and noncognitive visualization and tools in analyzing the digital visual concepts. It analyzes the study of data visualization in the area of software, with various illustrations.
Keywords: data visual rendering, cognitive visualization, noncognitive visualization, data visualization
