Angle-uniform parallel coordinates

Parallel-Coordinates Art

We employ common information visualization techniques such as parallel coordinates or stardinates as a tool for artistic image generation. Our technique is based on rendering footprints of continuous density distributions as they emerge from modeling data with uncertainty or estimating probability densities. By compositing density footprints with alpha-blending, we obtain visually pleasing imag...

Illustrative Parallel Coordinates

Illustrative parallel coordinates (IPC) is a suite of artistic rendering techniques for augmenting and improving parallel coordinate (PC) visualizations. IPC techniques can be used to convey a large amount of information about a multidimensional dataset in a small area of the screen through the following approaches: (a) edge-bundling through splines; (b) visualization of “branched ” clusters to...

The Parallel Coordinates Matrix

We introduce the parallel coordinates matrix (PCM) as the counterpart to the scatterplot matrix (SPLOM). Using a graph-theoretic approach, we determine a list of axis orderings such that all pairwise relations can be displayed without redundancy while each parallel-coordinates plot can be used independently to visualize all variables of the dataset. Therefore, existing axis-ordering algorithms,...

KAM Theory Without A tion-Angle Coordinates

Disassembling the Galaxy with angle-action coordinates

Angle-action coordinates are used to study the relic of an N -body simulation of a self-gravitating satellite galaxy that was released on a short-period orbit within the disc of the Galaxy. Satellite stars that lie within 1.5 kpc of the Sun are confined to a grid of patches in action space. As the relic phase-mixes for longer, the patches become smaller and more numerous. These patches can be s...
