Abstract
We design and implement a web-based, pen-centric front end for the Protovis toolkit, allowing users to quickly create visualizations for improvisational purposes. The design of this system is constrained to the scope of visualizations that you would be able to sketch on a paper napkin. Even within this limited canvas size, we show that by creating visual interactions for authoring visualizations as a combination of separable marks, one can produce a wide variety of visualizations in a under a minute without needing to write a single line of code.
