Insight into Data through Visualization

Computer graphics, scientific visualization, information visualization, and graph drawing are areas which deal with visual information layout. They all use the remarkable properties of the human visual perception to rapidly absorb and analyse visual information. The paper discusses important visualization aspects and gives examples of how visualization techniques facilitate insight into data characteristics. The connection between visualization and graph drawing is shortly discussed

Access to Surface Properties Up to Order Two for Visualization Algorithms

Elaborated visualization techniques which are... In this paper we discuss a model for a general access to surface properties up to order two, i.e., surface-point locations, normals, and curvature properties, (almost) regardless of the origin of the surface. Surface types and access algorithms are compared and summarized. At the end of this paper we shortly present an implementation of this model
