Abstract: |
TOPCAT is a widely used desktop application for manipulation of
astronomical and other tables, which has long provided fast
interactive visualization features including 1, 2 and 3-d plots, multiple
datasets, linked views, color coding, transparency and more.
In Version 4 a new plotting library has been written from scratch
to deliver new and enhanced visualization capabilities.
This paper describes some of the considerations in the design and
implementation, particularly in regard to providing comprehensible
interactive visualization for multi-million point datasets. |
