introduction
* ed-media00 Visualization of symbolic information: empowering student introspection
visualization for web data mining
example high level visualization tools and hydrodynamic visualization
9/27 mult dimension information
- high dimension by in same space (fluid, weather ...) [Vis5D options for overlaying]
- vector fields (hedgehog, vectors, glyphs, flow markers) (also vector bundles, tensors (splat))
- versions of reduced dimensions and multiple dimension displays
- various high dimensional glyphs (as part of other dimensions and without other coordinate systems)
snowflakes from sound (symmetrized dot-pattern SDP [Pickover 90 p39]) also work by Poincare
Vis5D
10/4/02 visualization of periodic information
10/11/02 process and logic visualization
- process - towers of Hanoi (add volume coloring for activity etc.) (ghosting of motion)
- process - state space search
- process - process tree (or other diagram such as DFD or Petri net with markers)
- logic - glyphs, faces, Tufte shirt example
- program flow - highlighting statements, highlighting boxes/objects, call arrows
- process - movie (or a time dimension)
- sets - groupings (ID3), boundaries, false color or common icon/glyph
- the contrast of software vs. algorithm visualizations
10/18/02 Mahmuda Naznin - O(n) planer line drawing routine
11/8/02 an example problem
11/15/02 worked more with the above example
For next week bring in your own problem. So, the following two questions: What is something you would like to visualize? What are some things you could do?
visualization and data mining

12/6/02 Dimensions
- problem dimensions vs synthesized dimension
- structural (real or problem) dimensions
- warped dimensions (lens, log or function scaled)
- synthesized dimension (taxicab metric from x and y)
- regrouping (embedded plots (dimensions within other)
- time line based (all of medical history, more for current information and less and less space over time)
- tree structuring of information
- self grouping
- command grouping (synthesized dimensions) 2D to line by fractal mapping (space filling curve)
