Abstract:
1. A visualization method for multidimensional data including a plurality of parameters to be viewed which are related to a given object, comprising: displaying each of the plurality of parameters in relation to a plurality of object instances each in a 2-D plane thereby forming a plurality of 2-D planes, wherein each parameter has a plurality of values, wherein each x-axis parameter for each 2-D plane is different from each of the other of the plurality of x-axis parameters and each y-axis parameter for each 2-D plane is the same as each of the other of the plurality of y-axis parameters, wherein the x-axis parameter represents one of a plurality of financial market parameters, wherein each financial market parameter's value has one of a plurality of companies corresponding to it, and wherein the y-axis parameter represents the plurality of companies, and wherein each point in each 2-D plane is one value of each parameter and one object instance of a plurality of object instances; displaying the plurality of 2-D planes to be viewed which are related to a given object in different layers along a Z axis of a 3-D coordinate system, wherein the Z axis links a same object instance occurring in each of the 2-D planes, and wherein all of the 2-D planes are separate from each other and parallel to each other; determining one of the 2-D planes as an interested plane; and in response to a user focusing on a specific object instance in the interested plane, linking and displaying locations of the specific object instance on the other 2-D planes that are separate from and parallel to each of the other 2-D planes along the Z axis.
