Fig. 1. Visualization of multi-dimensional environmental data. By fixing all variables except three, n dimensions can be mapped to three dimensions.

Fig. 2. Pseudo-3-D representation of a time-resolved IR spectrum. This representation converts intensities into distances. Both displacement in the z-axis and color are used to show the intensity values

Fig. 3. Sectioning 3-D data. A: Intersection plane. B: Combination of different views. Displaying the section planes is a simple visualization method for 3-D data, nevertheless many aspects of structure are not accessible from these section images.

Fig. 4. Displaying 3-D data. A: Isosurface rendering. B: Combined display. A volumetric display clearly shows the connections between the different regions. This representation can be combined with various section planes.
