Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: generating a display output using a computer from multi-parameter N-dimensional data, wherein not more than N−2 dimensions are indexed by two index pseudo-dimensions, the display output depicting volumetric data spaces selected from possible ways to depict multi-parameter data with M dimensional data spaces, comprising depicting the index pseudo-dimensions as a data space having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising a time axis and two index pseudo-dimension axes, and depicting dimensions defining geographic coordinates as a time sequence of volumetric data spaces having volumetric dimensions defined by geographic coordinates as axes; generating, in response to user input selecting higher-order volumetric data space a display output depicting the higher-order volumetric data space having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising a time axis and two index pseudo-dimension axes; and generating, in response to user input selecting lower-order volumetric data space and a data point along one of the mutually perpendicular index pseudo-dimension axes a display output depicting the lower-order volumetric data space having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising a time axis and two index pseudo-dimension axes.
