Therefore, combining with the era background of big data to analyze the Information visualization is the necessary requirement of keeping up with the times and linking theory with practice. This article integrated use the literature research, case analysis and combined with the mature website of Information visualization in the current and traditional media to analyze the development status of Information visualization.In the first,The article analyzes the origin and classification of information visualization, the relationship between the technology and content in information visualization.
