Abstract

In this paper we integrate radviz and parallel coordinates, two methods able to handle multidimensional datasets,exploiting their contrasting characteristics. From on sideradviz offers good direct data manipulation (i.e., brushing)techniques and low cluttering but it fails in providing visualizationof quantitative information; conversely, parallel coordinatesclearly shows the values of data attributes and their ranges butsuffers from high cluttering also on small datasets and presentstedious manipulation techniques. We developed a prototype,called SpringView, that allows for simultaneously viewing bothradviz and parallel coordinates and implements several usefultechniques to manipulate the data, both interactively and, moreinterestingly, automatically. We challenged our approach againsttwo well know multidimensional datasets, proving its effectiveness.
