VISUALLY APPROXIMATING PARALLEL COORDINATES DATA

摘要

A data visualization system with the capability of viewing large amounts of data in a parallel coordinates system. Large amounts of data are displayed in parallel coordinates by grouping together data points by bins and representing grouped data with fewer graphical elements. The fewer graphical elements simplify the graphical representation of the data while still providing information about the density or volume of data occupying a particular space. Bins are determined for each axis. The volume of connections between a pair of neighboring pair of bins may be represented by modifying an aspect of the connection based on the volume.
