Data Visualization '99: Proceedings of the Joint EUROGRAPHICS and IEEE TCVG Symposium on Visualization in Vienna, Austria, May 26-28, 1999

by Eduard Gröller (Editor), Helwig Löffelmann (Editor), William Ribarsky (Editor)

Overview

In the past decade visualization established its importance both in scientific research and in real-world applications. In this book 21 research papers and 9 case studies report on the latest results in volume and flow visualization and information visualization. Thus it is a valuable source of information not only for researchers but also for practitioners developing or using visualization applications.
