Visualizing multidimensional (multivariate) data and relations

Abstract

The paper provides a review of the field of multidimensional data visualisation and discusses some promising methodologies. It considers some crucial problems and directions. The emphasis is more on concepts and foundations rather than ad hoc methods. Visualization is considered as a collection of transformations from problem domains to a perceptual domain, usually visual. The paper discusses the extension of visualisation from the pixel to icons.<>
