The space-filling visualization model was first invented by Ben Shneiderman [28] for maximizing the utilization of display space in relational data (or graph) visualization, especially for tree visualization. It uses the concept of Enclosure which dismisses the "edges" in the graphic representation that are all too frequently used in traditional node-link based graph visualizations. Therefore, the major issue in graph visualization which is the edge crossing can be naturally solved through the adoption of a space filling approach. However in the past, the space-filling concept has not attracted much attention from researchers in the field of multidimensionalvisualization. Although the problem of 'edge crossing' has also occurred among polylines which are used as the basic visual elements in the parallel coordinates visualization, it is problematic if those 'edge crossings' among polylines are not evenly distributed on the display plate as visual clutter will occur. This problem could significantly reduce the human readability in terms of reviewing a particular region of the visualization. In this study, we propose a new Space-Filling multidimensional data visualization (SFMDVis) that for the first-time introduces a space-filling approach into multidimensional data visualization. The main contributions are: (1) achieving the maximization of space utilization in multidimensionalvisualization (i.e. 100% of the display area is fully used), (2) eliminating visual clutter in SFMDVis through the use of the non-classic geometric primitive and (3) improving the quality of visualization for the visual perception of linear correlations among different variables as well as recognizing data patterns. To evaluate the quality of SFMDVis, we have conducted a usability study to measure the performance of SFMDVis in comparison with parallel coordinates and a scatterplot matrix for finding linear correlations and data patterns. The evaluation results have suggested that the accuracy

Preserving all multidimensionaldata in two-dimensional visualization is a long-standing problem in Visual Analytics, Machine Learning/data Mining, and Multiobjective Pareto Optimization. While Parallel and Radial (Star) coordinates preserve all n-D data in two dimensions, they are not sufficient to address visualization challenges of all possible datasets such as occlusion. More such methods are needed. Recently, the concepts of lossless General Line Coordinates that generalize Parallel, Radial, Cartesian, and other coordinates were proposed with initial exploration and application of several subclasses of General Line Coordinates such as Collocated Paired Coordinates and Star Collocated Paired Coordinates. This article explores and enhances benefits of General Line Coordinates. It shows the ways to increase expressiveness of General Line Coordinates including decreasing occlusion and simplifying visual pattern while preserving all n-D data in two dimensions by adjusting General Line Coordinates for given n-D datasets. The adjustments include relocating, rescaling, and other transformations of General Line Coordinates. One of the major sources of benefits of General Line Coordinates relative to Parallel Coordinates is twice less number of point and lines in visual representation of each n-D points. This article demonstrates the benefits of different General Line Coordinates for real data visual analysis such as health monitoring and benchmark Iris data classification compared with results from Parallel Coordinates, Radvis, and Support Vector Machine. The experimental part of the article presents the results of the experiment with about 70 participants on efficiency of visual pattern discovery using Star Collocated Paired Coordinates, Parallel, and Radial Coordinates. It shows advantages of visual discovery of n-D patterns using General Line Coordinates subclass Star Collocated Paired Coordinates with n = 160 dimensions.

The ways of optimization of Sammon's mapping technique are suggested. Two sorts of the mapping artifacts produced by the local minimum traps and non-coherence of the source and target spaces (i.e. multi- and low-dimensional ones, respectively) are discussed. The methods of reduction of the artifacts' influence on the resulting two- and three-dimensional patterns are proposed. The nuclear reactor diagnostics system is taken as the source of real multidimensionaldata. Usefulness of the mapping for their analysis is shown.

The visualization of time-dependent simulation data, such as data sets from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, is still a very challenging task. In this paper, we present a new approach for the interactive visual analysis of flow simulation data, which is especially targeted at the analysis of time-dependent data. This supports the flexible specification and visualization of flow features in an interactive setup of multiple linked views. Special emphasis is put on new mechanisms to capture time-dependent features (i.e. flow features that are inherently dependent on time). We propose the integration of attribute derivation into the process of interactive visual analysis to enable the subsequent user access to otherwise implicit properties of the unsteady data in our interactive feature specification framework. All views of this flow analysis setup are linked, in the sense that the features in focus are consistently emphasized in the visualization (more colorful, less transparent) whereas the rest of the data are only shown as context in reduced style. In addition to introducing our new approach, we also demonstrate its use in the context of several application examples.

Most tabular datavisualization techniques focus on overviews, yet many practical analysis tasks are concerned with investigating individual items of interest. At the same time, relating an item to the rest of a potentially large table is important. In this work, we present Taggle, a tabular visualization technique for exploring and presenting large and complex tables. Taggle takes an item-centric, spreadsheet-like approach, visualizing each row in the source data individually using visual encodings for the cells. At the same time, Taggle introduces data-driven aggregation of data subsets. The aggregation strategy is complemented by interaction methods tailored to answer specific analysis questions, such as sorting based on multiple columns and rich data selection and filtering capabilities. We demonstrate Taggle by a case study conducted by a domain expert on complex genomics data analysis for the purpose of drug discovery.

multidimensional multivariate data have been studied in different areas for quite some time. Commonly, the analysis goal is not to look into individual records but to understand the distribution of the records at large and to find clusters of records that exhibit correlations between dimensions or variables. We propose a visualization method that operates on density rather than individual records. To not restrict our search for clusters, we compute density in the given multidimensional space. Clusters are formed by areas of high density. We present an approach that automatically computes a hierarchical tree of high density clusters. For visualization purposes, we propose a method to project the multidimensional clusters to a 2D or 3D layout. The projection method uses an optimized star coordinates layout. The optimization procedure minimizes the overlap of projected clusters and maximally maintains the cluster shapes, compactness, and distribution. The star coordinate visualization allows for an interactive analysis of the distribution of clusters and comprehension of the relations between clusters and the original dimensions. Clusters are being visualized using nested sequences of density level sets leading to a quantitative understanding of information content, patterns, and relationships.

Background: Presentation of multiple interactions is of vital importance in the new field of cytomics. Quantitative analysis of multi- and polychromatic stained cells in tissue will serve as a basis for medical diagnosis and prediction of disease in forthcoming years. A major problem associated with huge interdependent data sets is visualization. Therefore, alternative and easy-to-handle strategies for datavisualization as well as data meta-evaluation (population analvsis. cross-correlation, co-expression analysis) were developed. Methods: To facilitate human comprehension of complex data, 3D parallel coordinate systems have been developed and used in automated microscopy-based multicolor tissue cytometry ((MMTC). Frozen sections of human skin were stained using the combination anti-CD45-PE, anti-CD14-APC, and SytoxGreen as well as the appropriate single and double negative controls. Stained sections were analyzed using automated confocal laser microscopy and semiquantitative MMTC-analysis with TissueQuest 2.0. The 3D parallel coordinate plots are generated from semiquantitative immunofluorescent data of single cells. The 2D and 3D parallel coordinate plots were produced by further processing using the Matlab environment (Mathworks, USA). Results: Current techniques in datavisualization primarily utilize scattergrams, where two parameters are plotted against each other on Linear or logarithmic scales. However, data evaluation on cartesian x/y-scattergrams is, in general, only of limited value in multiparameter analysis. Dot plots suffer from serious problems, and in particular, do not meet the requirements of polychromatic high-context tissue cytometry of millions of cells. The 3D parallel coordinate plot replaces the vast amount of scattergrams that are usually needed for the cross-correlation analysis. As a result, the scientist is able to perform the data metaevaluation by using one single plot. On the basis of 2D parallel coordinate systems, a density isosurfa

visualization and visual analytic tools amplify one's perception of data, facilitating deeper and faster insights that can improve decision making. For multidimensionaldata sets, one of the most common approaches of visualization methods is to map the data into lower dimensions. Scatterplot matrices (SPLOM) are often used to visualize bivariate relationships between combinations of variables in a multidimensionaldataset. However, the number of scatterplots increases quadratically with respect to the number of variables. For high dimensional data, the corresponding enormous number of scatterplots makes data exploration overwhelmingly complex, thereby hindering the usefulness of SPLOM in human decision making processes. One approach to address this difficulty utilizes Graph-theoretic Scatterplot Diagnostic (Scagnostics) to automatically extract a subset of scatterplots with salient features and of manageable size with the hope that the data will be sufficient for improving human decisions. In this paper, we use Electroencephalogram (EEG) to observe brain activity while participants make decisions informed by scatterplots created using different visual measures. We focused on 4 categories of Scagnostics measures: Clumpy, Monotonic, Striated, and Stringy. Our findings demonstrate that by adjusting the level of difficulty in discriminating between data sets based on the Scagnostics measures, different parts of the brain are activated: easier visual discrimination choices involve brain activity mostly in visual sensory cortices located in the occipital lobe, while more difficult discrimination choices tend to recruit more parietal and frontal regions as they are known to be involved in resolving ambiguities. Our results imply that patterns of neural activity are predictive markers of which specific Scagnostics measures most assist human decision making based on visual stimuli such as ours.
