欧拉图是表示集合之间关系的一种有效和直观的方式。随着表示的集合数量的增加，欧拉图可能会变得“混乱”并失去一些直观的吸引力。在本文中，我们考虑各种措施的“杂波”抽象的欧拉图，并表明他们比较好的实证研究所获得的结果。我们还表明，所有抽象的欧拉图可以通过插入一个轮廓的时间，我们与这种归纳描述的杂波度量的归纳构造。
Euler diagrams are an effective and intuitive way of representing relationships between sets. As the number of sets represented grows, Euler diagrams can become ‘cluttered' and lose some of their intuitive appeal. In this paper we consider various measures of ‘clutter' for abstract Euler diagrams and show that they compare well with results obtained from an empirical study. We also show that all abstract Euler diagrams can be constructed inductively by inserting a contour at a time and we relate this inductive description to the clutter metrics.
