Data visualization Zhao Kaidi School of Computing, National University of Singapore Iscp0075@.sg zhaokaidi@ Matrix Number: HT00-6177E (Document Version 1.0) Abstract Data visualization is a quite new and promising field in computer science. It uses computer graphic effects to reveal the patterns, trends, relationships out of datasets. In this paper, we first get familiar with data visualization and its related concepts, then we will look through some general algorithms to do the data visualization. To get deeper about it, we will have some discussion about multidimensional data visualization. With the combination of some known methods, we present a new algorithm to do 4 dimensional data visualization. We also present a program project plan about it (optional), and some issues and explanations around it. Introduction Human has a long history with basic data visualization, and data visualization is still a hot topic today. The history of visualization was shaped to some extent by available technology and by the pressing needs of the time, they include: primitive paintings on clays, maps on walls, photographs, table of numbers (with rows and columns concepts), these are all some kind of data visualization – although we may not call them under this name at that time. Visualization is the graphical presentation of information, with the goal of providing the viewer with a qualitative understanding of the information contents. It is also the process of transforming objects, concepts, and numbers into a form that is visible to the human eyes. When we say “information”, we may refer to data, processes, relations, or concepts. Here, we restrict it to data. 1 Data vi
