Abstract: System, method, and computer program product for measuring transitions between visualizations, the method comprising identifying data fields represented in a first visualization and one or more presentation characteristics for the data fields represented in the first visualization, identifying data fields represented in a second visualization and one or more presentation characteristics for the data fields represented in the second visualization, determining a plurality of transition scores, wherein each transition score represents a difference or similarity between the first and second visualizations, relative to either the identified data fields or the presentation characteristics, and generating a composite measure of transition between the first and second visualizations from the plurality of transition scores.
