Abstract

In the analysis of multidimensional data sets questions involving detection of extremal events, correlations, patterns and trends play an increasingly important role in a variety of applications. Axes-based visualizations like Parallel or Star Coordinates are useful tools for the analysis of multidimensional data sets. In this paper, we present several interactive axes, which can be used to analyze data in an intuitive manner. Furthermore, we present two novel radial visual arrangements of such axes - the TimeWheel and the MultiComb. They focus on data sets with one variable of reference. TimeWheel and MultiComb in combination with interactive axes are part of an interactive framework called VisAxes, which can be used for enhanced multidimensional data browsing and analysis.
