This document discusses the design and evaluation of a visual analytics interface for analyzing time series data through direct manipulation of trajectories. It proposes an approach that combines playback (for trend discovery) and static views (for hypothesis formation) through repeated exploration. Zooming and other operations are divided into interpretation modes. Evaluation suggests that the interface helps users discover trends based on visual tendencies over time, such as how pitching counts increase overall and affect other metrics differently for various players or datasets.
