Layers of point based plots are stacked and connected in a virtual visualization cube for comparison between different dimension settings. Viewed from the side, the plot layers intrinsically form parallel coordinates plots. MLMD integrates point based plots and parallel coordinates compactly so as to present more information at a time to help data investigation. Pertinent user interactions for MLMD method to enable convenient manipulation are designed. By using MLMD and its matching interaction techniques, proper dimension settings and in-depth data perception can be achieved.KeywordsMultiLayered VisualizationScatterplotParallel Coordinates3D Information VisualizationI.3.6 [Computer Graphics]Methodology and techniquesInteraction Techniques
