Towards Reusable and Reactive Widgets for Information Visualization Research and Dissemination

Two side-by-side panels. The left shows the UMAP Playground interactive visualization with a dark scatter plot of food product clusters, parameter sliders, and a data table. The right shows the reactive widget architecture diagram with labeled boxes for data input, UMAP processing, and a Brushable Scatterplot widget, connected by directed arrows.

Abstract
This paper advocates for reusable and reactive widgets as a paradigm for information visualization research and dissemination. We argue that encapsulating visualizations as self-contained, reactive components enables more reproducible research, easier deployment, and wider accessibility of visualization tools.
