Claim 19:
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a graphics system, cause the graphics system to perform operations comprising:
receive a plurality of data points that are disconnected from one another and that are distributed across a space, wherein each data point of the plurality of data points comprises positional elements that define a position of that data point in the space and non-positional elements that define descriptive characteristics of that data point;
determine a first distance between a first set of data points from the plurality of data points, wherein the first distance corresponds to spacing between different pairs of the first set of data points as determined from a difference in the positional elements of the different pairs of the first set of data points, and wherein the first distance between the first set of data points is less than a threshold distance;
render each data point of the first set of data points based on the positional elements and the non-positional elements of the data point;
determine a second distance between a second set of data points from the plurality of data points, wherein the second distance corresponds to spacing between different pairs of the second set of data points as determined from a difference in the positional elements of the different pairs of the second set of data points, and wherein the second distance between the second set of data points is greater than the threshold distance; and
render a set of meshes in place of the second set of data points with each mesh of the set of meshes corresponding to a polygon that spans a larger region of the space than a single data point from the second set of data points.
