Abstract

VBVenn is a Visual Basic program that calculates the size and position of two circles to construct a quantitative Venn diagram. It is a simple one-form program with a fairly intuitive user interface. The program normalizes the size of two populations and their intersection, sizes a circle for each population, calculates the area of the intersection, solves for the relative position of the circles in the Venn diagram by iteration, produces a graphical rendition of the Venn diagram on the screen, and writes an output text file. This text file may be used with graphing software to create a publication-quality Venn diagram. This Report provides a guide for using VBVenn, describes the calculations used to create the diagram, and documents the Visual Basic code used to implement the iterative method. VBVenn is in the public domain and may be utilized and distributed as freeware, as such the program has no expressed or implied warrantee.
