Abstract

Scientific visualization has yet to become a discipline founded on well-understood principles. In some cases we have rules of thumb, and there are studies that probe the capabilities and limitations of specific techniques. For the most part, however, visualization consists of a collection of ad hoc techniques and lovely examples. This article collects examples where visualization was found to be useful for particular insights or where it enabled new and fruitful types of experiment.
