COMBINING PARALLEL COORDINATES AND HISTOGRAMS

摘要

A system provides data visualization with the capability of combining parallel coordinates and histograms. Parallel coordinates typically display lines between two or more vertical lines representing a coordinate element. In addition to displaying lines between coordinate element axes, histograms are provided at each element line to indicate the instances of data associated with line values. To create parallel coordinates with histograms, bin values may be determined for the parallel coordinates. Data is then accessed, and a particular bin value is incremented for each data point that falls within the bin. The parallel coordinates are then displayed with the histograms indicating a quantity of data associated with each coordinate value.
