STV is a [[Largest remainder method|largest remainder method]] in the [[Party list case|party list case]]. This is because it gives each party as many seats as they have quotas, and when nobody can reach the quota anymore, it eliminates candidates until there are only as many candidates left as seats that are still unfilled, which de facto means that the parties with the most votes remaining (i.e. largest remainders) will win, since they'll be last to be eliminated.
STV and IRV can be visualized using Sankey or flow diagrams. If, in a given round, a candidate reaches the quota (a majority in IRV), they win, and if more seats are to be filled, then a quota of their votes are spent. This could be visualized by arranging the candidates from most votes to fewest in each round, and then showing a threshold for how many votes the candidate with the most votes in that round needs to win.
