      We present Kelp Diagrams, a novel method to depict set relations over points, i.e., elements with predefined positions. Our method creates schematic drawings and has been designed to take aesthetic quality, efficiency, and ...
    • KeyStrokes: Personalizing Typed Text with Visualization 

      Neumann, Petra; Tat, Annie; Zuk, Torre; Carpendale, Sheelagh (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      With the ubiquity of typed text, the style and much of the personality of handwriting has been lost from general communication. To counter this we introduce an artistic real-time visualization of typed messages that ...
    • Knowledge-Based Out-of-Core Algorithms for Data Management in Visualization 

      Chisnall, David; Chen, Min; Hansen, Charles (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Data management is the very first issue in handling very large datasets. Many existing out-of-core algorithms used in visualization are closely coupled with application-specific logic. This paper presents two knowledgebased ...
    • Lagrangian Coherent Structures with Guaranteed Material Separation 

      Germer, Tobias; Otto, Mathias; Peikert, R.; Theisel, H. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
      Given an unsteady flow field, one common way to compute Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) is to extract extremal structures of the Finite Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE). Experience has shown that the resulting structures ...

      Garth, Christoph; Wiebel, Alexander; Tricoche, Xavier; Joy, Ken; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      The notions of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) and Lagrangian Coherent Structures provide a strong framework for the analysis and visualization of complex technical flows. Their definition is simple and intuitive, and ...
    • Learning Probabilistic Transfer Functions: A Comparative Study of Classifiers 

      Soundararajan, Krishna Prasad; Schultz, Thomas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Complex volume rendering tasks require high-dimensional transfer functions, which are notoriously difficult to design. One solution to this is to learn transfer functions from scribbles that the user places in the volumetric ...
    • Lifted Domain Coloring 

      Poelke, Konstantin; Polthier, Konrad (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)
      Complex-valued functions are fundamental objects in complex analysis, algebra, differential geometry and in many other areas such as numerical mathematics and physics. Visualizing complex functions is a non-trivial task ...
    • Line Integral Convolution for Real-Time Illustration of Molecular Surface Shape and Salient Regions 

      Lawonn, Kai; Krone, Michael; Ertl, Thomas; Preim, Bernhard (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      We present a novel line drawing algorithm that illustrates surfaces in real-time to convey their shape. We use line integral convolution (LIC) and employ ambient occlusion for illustrative surface rendering. Furthermore, ...
    • Localized Flow Analysis of 2D and 3D Vector Fields 

      Wiebel, Alexander; Garth, Christoph; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper we present an approach to the analysis of the contribution of a small subregion in a dataset to the global flow. To this purpose, we subtract the potential flow that is induced by the boundary of the sub-domain ...
    • Locating Closed Streamlines in 3D Vector Fields 

      Wischgoll, Thomas; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association, 2002)
      The analysis and visualization of flows is a central problem in visualization. Topology based methods have gained increasing interest in recent years. This article describes a method for the detection of closed streamlines ...
    • Location-dependent Generalization of Road Networks Based on Equivalent Destinations 

      Dijk, Thomas C. van; Haunert, Jan-Henrik; Oehrlein, Johannes (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Suppose a user located at a certain vertex in a road network wants to plan a route using a wayfinding map. The user's exact destination may be irrelevant for planning most of the route, because many destinations will be ...
    • Lossless Geometry Compression for Steady-State and Time-Varying Irregular Grids 

      Chen, Dan; Chiang, Yi-Jen; Memon, Nasir; Wu, Xiaolin (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      In this paper we investigate the problem of lossless geometry compression of irregular-grid volume data represented as a tetrahedral mesh. We propose a novel lossless compression technique that effectively predicts, models, ...
    • LoVis: Local Pattern Visualization for Model Refinement 

      Zhao, Kaiyu; Ward, Matthew O.; Rundensteiner, Elke A.; Higgins, Huong N. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      Linear models are commonly used to identify trends in data. While it is an easy task to build linear models using pre-selected variables, it is challenging to select the best variables from a large number of alternatives. ...
    • Lyra: An Interactive Visualization Design Environment 

      Satyanarayan, Arvind; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      We present Lyra, an interactive environment for designing customized visualizations without writing code. Using drag-and-drop interactions, designers can bind data to the properties of graphical marks to author expressive ...
    • Magnetic Flux Topology of 2D Point Dipoles 

      Bachthaler, Sven; Sadlo, Filip; Weeber, Rudolf; Kantorovich, Sofia; Holm, Christian; Weiskopf, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Magnetic fields exhibit higher-order, nonlinear singularities in the form of point-dipole singularities. In addition, due to absence of divergence, they feature only a subset of invariant structures from traditional vector ...
    • Mail Explorer - Spatial and Temporal Exploration of Electronic Mail 

      Keim, Daniel A.; Mansmann, Florian; Panse, Christian; Schneidewind, Jörn; Sips, Mike (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
