Smooth Transitions Between Parallel Coordinates and Scatter Plots via Polycurve Star Plots

Abstract This paper presents new techniques for seamlessly transitioning between parallel coordinate plots, star and scatter plots. The plot serves as a mediator visualization plots since it uses lines to represent data items coordinates do can arrange axes orthogonally used design of the transitions also motivated variant plot, polycurve that curved instead straight ones has advantages both in terms space utilization detection clusters. Furthermore, we developed geometrically method embed points from into track transition structural information such clusters correlations different types. integration our an interactive analysis tool exploring multivariate demonstrates utility approach over multi‐view which confirmed user study concrete usage scenarios.
