Abstract

In this paper we present a new technique for visualizing multidimensional information. We describe objects of a higher dimensional information space as small closed free-form-surfaces in the visualization. The location, size and shape of these surfaces describe the original objects in information space uniquely. The underlying enhanced spring model is introduced. The technique is applied to two test data sets.
