Compositing color with texture for multi-variate visualization
Haleh. H. Shenas, Victoria Interrante · 2005
Multivariate data visualization requires the development of effective techniques for simultaneously conveying multiple different data distributions over a common domain. Although it is easy to successfully use color to represent the value of a single variable at a given location, effectively using color to represent the values of multiple variables at the same point at the same time is a trickier business. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of strategies for effectively combining color with texture to represent multiple values at a single spatial location, and present a new technique for automatically interweaving multiple colors through the structure of an acquired texture pattern.
