Overview
Data visualization can play an important role in research, specifically in data analysis complementing other analysis methods, such as statistical analysis. But visualization can also play a role in communication and PR.
Depending on the goal for a visualization and its intended audience different visualization styles can be used:
|
| |
|---|---|---|
| ParaView running inside a remote VNC desktop on a Cartesius GPU node, showing analysis of an OpenFOAM example dataset | Same dataset, also in ParaView, but now with shadows and different color styles to give a different look | A more abstract top view of the same geometry, rendered in Blender |
