Chapter 11
Information Visualization
IN the previous chapters of this book, we have concentrated our attention on the visualization of datasets that essentially contain the sampling of continuous quantities over compact domains of ℝn. We have seen that such datasets occur in many fields, ranging from engineering and computational fluid mechanics and mathematics to medical and Earth sciences. The field that studies the visualization of these data types and targets the aforementioned application domains is known as scientific visualization (scivis). In this chapter, we shall discuss the visualization of a different, more abstract type of data. Examples of such data range from generic graphs and trees to database tables, text, and computer software. ...
