Abstract

A general purpose, easy-to-use graphical visualisation tool has been developed to facilitate the display of experiment data, ft supports simultaneous or selective rendering of surfaces, graphs and animated traces in a virtual 3D environment. It can accept as many as 100,000 objects for animated replay, and allows for interactive control of viewing position, lighting and other display parameters. The viewer is thus well suited to scoping experiment results, visually debugging data processing algorithms, and presenting complex data. Its principal application is in the visualisation of surfaces and graphs in the entropy analysis of medical and industrial related time-series
