A volumetric dataset is represented as a 3D discrete regular grid of volume elements (voxels) and is commonly stored in a volume buffer (or cubic frame buffer, like frame buffer in 2D), which is a lar [..]

A movie. A sequence of related images viewed in rapid succession to see and experience the apparent movement of objects. [KEL93]

A volume viewing algorithm in which the traversal for viewing is performed from the farthest voxel backward to the closest one. Voxels nearer to the viewer overwrite voxels that are farther to the bac [..]

The apparent intensity of light. Often a synonym for intensity [KEL93]

A technique for plotting scalar data of the form f(x,y) by constructing closed (level) curves of equal values of f. [WOL93]

An effective graph presents all information clearly in view of visualization aims. [MAC86]

An expressive graph encodes all relevant information and only that information. [MAC86]

A volume viewing algorithm in which the traversal for viewing is performed from the voxel closest to the viewer to the farthest one. Voxels are written only to pixels that are not painted yet. [KAU91]

An object or symbol for representing data values. Glyphs are generally a way of representing many data values and are sometimes called icons. A common glyph is the arrow, often chosen to represent vec [..]

The grand tour is a method for viewing multivariate statistical data via orthogonal projections onto a sequence of two-dimensional subspaces. The sequence of subspaces is chosen so that it is dense in [..]
