Hierarchical Data Visualization for Atomic Plant Data

Abstract

This paper introduces our own hierarchical data visualization technique, HeiankyoView, and discusses its potential for fluid science. HeiankyoView represents hierarchy as nested rectangles, and displays thousands of data elements in one display space. The paper briefly introduces the algorithm and various applications of HeiankyoView, and discusses our attempts for visualization of computational fluid dynamics data. Finally, the paper introduces our work on visualization of atomic plant data using HeiankyoView.
