Abstract

In any multidimensional visualization, some information has to be compromised when projecting multidimensional data to two- or three-dimensional space. We introduce the concepts of dimensional and object coherence and correlation to analyze and classify multidimensional visualization techniques. These concepts are used as principles for our design of Hifocon, a new multidimensional data visualization system.
