We propose "Aquanims" as new design metaphors for animated transitions that preserve displayed areas during the transformation. As liquids are incompressible fluids, we use a hydraulic metaphor to convey the sense of area preservation during animated transitions. We study the design space of Aquanims for rectangle-based charts.

Aquanims——基于水力学隐喻的区域保留动画过渡

我们建议“Aquanims”作为动画过渡的新设计隐喻，在转换过程中保留显示区域。由于液体是不可压缩的流体，我们使用水力比喻来传达动画过渡期间的面积保护感。我们研究了基于矩形图表的 Aquanis 的设计空间。
