Bret Victor explores the synthesis of direct-manipulation drawing with dynamic, data-driven visualizations, presenting a novel tool that bridges the gap between static expressiveness and programmatic interactivity.

Throughout the history of science, diagrams and graphs have been essential thinking tools. In the past, such visualizations were drawn with pen on paper, and could embrace the directness, freedom, and expressiveness of hand drawing. Most modern visualizations are programmed instead, where a single description can dynamically generate a unique picture for any dataset.
