UpSet plots are a common way of visualizing set data with more than three intersecting sets. UpSet shows intersections in a matrix, with the rows of the matrix corresponding to the sets, and the columns to the intersections between these sets (or vice versa). The size of the sets and of the intersections are shown as bar charts.
History
UpSet plots were first proposed in 2014 [1]. The first prototype was implemented as an interactive, web-based application[2]. UpSet plots are also related to Mosaic Plots, though Mosaic plots are designed for categorical instead of set data. UpSet plots became popular as they were re-implemented in various programming languages, such as R (based on Matplotlib)[3], Python, and others[4].
