Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: generating a display output from multi-parameter data using a computer, the display output depicting a volumetric data space having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising an object axis, a parameter axis, and a time axis; generating, in response to user input selecting a first data point along one of the mutually perpendicular axes associated with a lower-order volumetric data space, a display output depicting the lower-order volumetric data space defined by the first data point and having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising a lower-order object axis, a lower-order parameter axis, and a time axis; generating, in response to user input selecting a second data point along one of the mutually perpendicular axes that is not associated with a lower-order volumetric data space, a display output depicting a two-dimensional data slice parallel to any two of the mutually perpendicular axes defined by the second data point; and displaying, for data having a number of dimensions more than three, a number of related 3- (or 2-) dimensional data cubes, the number being determined by formulas C
