ABSTRACT

In this presentation, we review some fundamentals of visualization and then proceed to describe methods and combinations of methods useful for visualizing high dimensional data. Some methods include parallel coordinates, smooth interpolations of parallel coordinates, grand tours including wrapping tours, fractal tours, pseudo-grand tours, and pixel tours. This talk is given by a virtual Edward Wegman in the sense that it is a video of the Invited Talk he gave at the Isaac Newton Institute on January 17, 2008.
