Abstract
A method and system for visualizing relatively large amounts of data in a limited display space includes segmenting the data, mapping each segment to a node within the display space based on a specified nodal layout, texture mapping each graphical display of each segment of data to its node, and displaying the data in each node of the display space as mapped. This visualization scheme enables a user to map a relation to a specification of an N-dimensional display, by designating how attributes are to be used to get a desired segmentation, layout and presentation and enables a user to explore the data with various exploring features including real time continuous scaling.
