weergave

Weergave is a Dutch noun meaning the act or result of displaying, presenting, or rendering information, images, or scenes to a viewer. In general usage it refers to the way something is shown or represented, rather than its underlying content itself.

Etymology: The term derives from the verb weergeven ('to display, to render') formed with the prefix weer- and geven ('to give'). The noun weighs the process or result of such display.

In information technology and user interfaces, weergave is used to label features that control or describe how content appears. Examples include weergave-instellingen (display settings), weergave van tekst en afbeeldingen, and grafische weergave. It can denote rendering mode, layout, zoom levels, and color management.

In publishing, education, and the arts, weergave covers depiction or representation of subjects, scenes, or data. A photograph or drawing is a weergave of reality; in reports, 'weergave' can refer to the visual presentation of data, such as charts or diagrams.

In data visualization and multimedia, the term emphasizes the visual representation rather than the data itself, distinguishing between the underlying data (inhoud) and its weergave (presentation).
