Abstract | Visualization is an essential part of the computational sciences. While today s complex numerical techniques produce results of unparalleled accuracy, they also produce prodigious amounts of data. To realize the true potential of this information, visualization techniques are required to effi-ciently convey the meaning of the information to the analyst. In this chapter we explore basic concepts, terminol-ogy, and visualization techniques. We conclude by describing methods for integrating the results of computational analysis data to the visualization system. |
