INTRODUCTION

 

The Data Visualization Builder is a tool that assists users with converting data into a visual form. This tool guides the user through the process of specifying the characteristics of the data. Based on those characteristics, the tool recommends one or more visualization techniques that are appropriate for that data. After the user selects a visualization technique, the tool recommends a visualization software package and a hardware resource. Finally, the tool provides information about how to use the software package and how to access the hardware resource.

 

The Data Visualization Builder guides you through the following steps.

 
    • Request information about the characteristics of the data.

    • Request information about the format of the data file.

    • Recommend an appropriate visualization technique for that data.

    • Recommend an appropriate visualization package.

    • Recommend hardware resources and provide information on those resources.

 

Note that this tool is designed for beginning to intermediate users interested in applying common used visualization techniques to 2D and 3D scalar data sets over regular grids.

Please use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the Builder pages. Using the Back or Forward buttons in your browser may result in losing the information collected by the Builder to that point. If this occurs you must start again from the beginning (this page).
