Most visualization tools are designed to be used on either data in any regular grid or data in any unstructured grid. However, some datasets are difficult to view using these generalized tools, due to difficult geometry, or the need to correlate regions of the data that are not adjacent. Thinking outside the standard toolbox can allow the creation of novel focus and context views for such datasets. That is, by finding ways to turn the geometry to one’s advantage, more intuitive or illustrative views can be developed. • Self-occlusion hides focus areas
