Whiskers, in the world of computing, refers to a tool or feature often used in software development to improve user experience. It is especially associated with user interface (UI) design, where whiskers can denote elements that guide the user's attention or interaction within an application. Whiskers can provide visual cues or indicators such as dropdown arrows or hover effects that enhance usability. Additionally, in statistical data visualization, whiskers may represent variability or error margins around a given data point. The term is less commonly referred to in software but encapsulates functions aimed at refining user interaction and improving clarity in data representation.
