toxiclibs: ZoomLens explained

This is an impact visualization of the new ZoomLens class developed for exercises of our recent DataViz workshop & now available in the latest toxiclibs core package. You can use it to deform the distribution of values around a given focal point within a number interval. The lens can both bundle or dilate space, which is helpful for improving the regional level of detail in certain data viz applications.

 

On the right hand side of the image the deformation curve is shown where a more vertical curvature refers to compressed regions and horizontal curvature equals dilation.
