 Encyclopedia: Visualization (graphic)
Scientific visualization is a branch of computer graphics which is concerned with the presentation of interactive or animated digital images to scientists who interpret potentially huge quantities of laboratory or simulation data or the results from sensors out in the field.
Computer graphics (CG) is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world.

 Chapter 1: Graphic Visualization and Practice
The remainder of this chapter examines the increasing use of graphic visualization techniques in a variety of fields, reviews a range of graphic tools and techniques currently in use in clinical practice, and touches on empirical evidence supporting use of the approach and principles important for enhancing its effectiveness.
Graphical user interfaces are the emerging standard, and graphic tools are the heart of contemporary systems analysis (Yourdon, 1989), identifying and preventing critical errors and omissions that might otherwise not be evident until the system is in daily use.
The utility of visual models for explaining conceptual frameworks is the primary focus of chapter 7 and is discussed by Carol H. Meyer in chapter 9.

 Journal of Technology Studies: Volume XXVI, Number 1, Winter/Spring 2000 - Aaron C. Clark & Eric N. Wiebe
Though many in the technical graphics field who teach at secondary and post-secondary educational institutions have discussed the benefits of traditional technical graphics as a means of developing spatial visualization skills, this was still envisioned by most as happening in the context of mechanical or architectural design graphics.
In this scientific visualization course, rather than using the documentation of mechanical objects as the vehicle for the creation of graphics, the communication of more conceptual scientific and technical ideas and empirical results were used as a basis for creating graphics.
It is the role of the college and university graphics educators to include this new content area and better prepare their graduates for employment, not only in the traditional technical graphics area, but for the emerging areas within scientific visualization.

Data visualization is the use of graphics to make sense of the reams of data that are available for analysis and decision making.
Interesting graphics are used to determine the appropriate data mining statistics, modeling, or neural networks analysis to be performed on the data.
Advanced data visualization allows for the interactive interpretation and analysis of large amounts of data that cannot be derived from columns of numbers and that is not effective when displayed in simple charts.

Her e-mail was a poignant expression of frustration over the fact that data visualization often gets a bad name because of how poorly it is understood and implemented.
Data visualization tools and techniques provide the most powerful means to bring data to life, but learning to use visualizations for data analysis and communication is a bit like learning a new language with its own set of rules and nuance of expression.

 Information Visualization Tools - SearchTools Topic
Most experiments with visualization as graphic display of search results have not succeeded, perhaps because they are attempting to combine graphical displays with text concepts, perhaps because most people are searching for individual items rather than a topic or category.
Although visualization search products have not succeeded, the fervor of the researchers and developers indicates that for those people, and for the rest of us in some circumstances, visualization is compelling and valuable.

Need for visualizations: The challenge upfront is to prove the usefulness of visualizations to aid in learning or for problem-solving.
As Myers [] indicates, “another motivation for using graphics is that it tends to be a higher-level description of the desired actions (often de-emphasizing issues of syntax and providing a higher level of abstraction).” Furthmore, there are “many psychological motivations for using visual displays for programs and data” [Myers, ].

 Ask E.T.: Graphic Visualization of Risks
There is an excellent book by Mark Monmonier titled "Cartographies of Danger." There is some excellent discussion throughout on the presentation of hazard (which threatens life or property) as opposed to risk (the probability of a threat being realized), which may be helpful to you.
Thus this risk assessment may be highly formalized in the mature mind, automated, and not interfered with by conscious thought.
I am also exploring ways of visualizing risk and cost variables as an aid in decision making and problem solving.

Our convergence to Postix formatted pages provided us a convenient way of archiving a large amount of graphic and visualization material for use in classes, both as in-class lecture aids and out-of-class study materials.
Fetching only images or visualization files from other Web sites for use as educational aids provides one with a large directory of assorted "gifs", "mpegs", "quicktimes", and so forth.
For example, we might choose to describe a borrowed visualization for, say, an entry-level college class while the same visualization might be described by someone else in a quite different manner suited to their own needs.
