VOLUME RENDERING FOR GRAPH RENDERIZATION

摘要

Data visualization is provided with the capability to substitute elements for groups of clustered data in a graphical interface. When large numbers of data points are to be displayed in an interface, one or more groupings of data existing close together in coordinate space may be identified within the data. Once the groupings are identified and created, an element representing each grouping may be displayed in the visualization interface along with data points not associated with a grouping. A user may select a grouping to see additional information about the grouping, such as a zoomed-in view of the data points making up the grouping. Similarly, a user may select a portion of the data points that make up a grouping to display the element and zoom out for a broader view of the data.
