Abstract
Gestalt psychology puts forward the laws of similarity, proximity and common destiny. These laws all point out that visual stimuli work together to form a similar pattern organization, which results in the visual elements conforming to the same rules to be regarded as a group by the observer. However, the attributes of visual elements are now more diverse, including the dynamic changes of visual elements. In this paper, based on Bertin’s five visual variables, we will explore the impact of the coordinated changes of these visual variables on human visual perception. The experiment produced the ranking of visual variables on the strength of grouping ability. In practical application, the relative grouping strength of these visual elements has high application value for interface design and data visualization research.
