Data Visualization




If we take the three dimensional number system described previously, the numbers can be input into a 3D drawing tool to get a visualization of their relationships. This initial probe examines ways to take numerical data and translate them into visual representations using a scripting language. The first step was to recreate the table by employing mathematical functions in an array. Three arrays were created based on the three ‘plates’. To represent objects in three dimensional space, x,y,z coordinates were taken from each of the three plates, creating twenty five planes in space. Simple forms were generated with dimensions based on the same three coordinate numbers to show their relationships in space.
