Design alternatives
- Draw the tuples directly
- Draw histograms
- Draw histograms plus some tuples
Benchmark Implementations
- David Feng's current parallel coordinates implementation
- Located at https://www.kitware.com/svn/vtkSNL/trunk/vtkSNL/Examples/Cxx/ParallelCoordinates
- Uses View/Representation framework
- Draws tuples directly as lines
- Julien Finet's upcoming scatter plot implementation
- David Thompson's old parallel coordinates + scatter plot implementation
- Uses GLUT/OpenGL directly (no VTK) and only really tested on Linux (occasionally on MacOS X)
- Draws tuples directly as lines or points
- Interaction via heretofore undocumented methods:
- Space bar: animate transition from parallel coords to scatter plots
- Drag/drop: axis positioning/reordering
- Page up/down: highlight a tuple
- 'E' key: evenly space axes
- Click-drag below plot: scrub transition from parallel coords to scatter plots
- Email dcthomp@sandia.gov for a tarball.
