Fast-Forwarding to Desired Visualizations with zenvisage

Summary: Zenvisage: an interactive system for fast-forwarding to desired trends/patterns by enabling pattern-based visual query-by-sketch and drag-and-drop specification over large visualization spaces. Includes ZQL for expressive/compositional queries, targeting domain scientists. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
