Title
Glyphmaker - Creating Customized Visualizations Of Complex Data
Abstract
Glyphmaker's general approach to data visualization/analysis lets users build customized representations of multivariate data and gives them the interactive tools to explore data patterns and relations. Using glyphs - graphical objects - bound to data, users with little programming knowledge can set up visualizations of complex data, refine them, add to the variables, and focus on regions of interest.Glyphmaker is built in a standard dataflow environment, Silicon Graphics' Iris Explorer, so that it can take advantage of existing features and flexibility. The main parts it adds are the Data Reader, the 3D Glyph Editor, the Glyph Binder, and the Conditional Box.To test its capabilities and effectiveness, Glyphmaker has been applied to results from a typical large-scale computer simulation of a materials system. It proved to be a general and quite effective approach. for visualizing and analyzing multivariate 3D data, especially data that evolves in time. The authors are now planning a series of tests and evaluations by scientists and engineers using real data.
