Abstract
A system and method for providing a perspective-corrected representation of a multi-dimensional cluster is presented. Clusters are displayed based on independent spatial orientations within multiple dimensions. For each such spatial orientation, the clusters are located at an independent distance from a common origin. A relationship between a pair of the clusters is picked and analyzed. A criteria for perspective correction is sought. The criteria is applied to the pair of clusters to determine whether the clusters need be reoriented. The clusters are reoriented in the display by a perspective-corrected distance based on the relationship between the pair of clusters.
Claims22
A system for reorienting a cluster rendering within a display, comprising:
- a collection module to obtain a plurality of clusters that have been visually rendered on a two-dimensional display to model independent spatial orientations within multiple dimensions;
- an evaluation module to evaluate the spatial orientations of the clusters in each such dimension by identifying two-dimensional relationships for pairs of the clusters;
- and
- a search module to determine a distance for at least one such cluster from a common origin within the display that visually preserves the spatial orientation of the at least one cluster as a function of the relationships of that cluster.
