Overview
XmdvTool
is a public-domain software package for the interactive visual
exploration of multivariate data sets. It is available on all
major UNIX/LINUX/MAC and Window platforms. XmdvTool is developed based on OpenGL and
Tcl/Tk. It supports five methods for displaying flat form
data and hierarchically clustered data:
- Scatterplots
- Star Glyphs
- Parallel
Coordinates
- Dimensional
Stacking
- Pixel-oriented
Display
XmdvTool
also supports a variety of interaction modes and tools, including
brushing in screen, data, and structure spaces, zooming, panning,
and distortion techniques, and the masking and reordering of dimensions.
Univariate display and graphical summarization, via tree-maps
and modified Tukey box plots, are also supported. Finally, color
themes and user customizable color assignments permit tailoring
of the aesthetics to the users.
XmdvTool
has been applied to a wide range of application areas, some
of which are highlighted in our Case Studies. Some of these domains
include remote sensing, financial, geochemical, census, and simulation
data. We are always looking for new applications, so if you've
had some success with the system in your domain, we'd love to
hear from you. See our contact page and join our user group if
you'd like to contribute something or get further information.
