可视化领域的一个长期存在的问题是显示许多覆盖的数据集的能力。研究人员已经开发出成功的技术，通过将稀疏的相似字形分层来显示多个3D场。我和北卡罗来纳大学的同事们多年来一直在研究这个问题。我们的驱动应用是显示来自扫描探针和扫描电子显微镜的数据集，这导致我们专注于多标量场的显示。尽管我们最初的几种方法最初是成功的，但它们未能扩展到三四个以上的数据集。为了不让其他人走上同样的道路，我首先介绍了我们最初的方法的论点、初步成功和最终失败的原因。然后，我将描述实现成功技术的关键概念。
A long-standing problem in the field of visualization is the ability to display many overlaid data sets. Researchers have developed successful techniques that show multiple 3D fields by layering sparse similar glyphs. My colleagues and I at the University of North Carolina have investigated this problem for a number of years. Our driving application has been the display of data sets from scanned-probe and scanned-electron microscopes, which led us to concentrate on the display of multiple scalar fields. Although several of our first approaches were initially successful, they failed to scale to more than three or four data sets. So that others will not be tempted to follow the same course, I begin by presenting the argument for, preliminary successes with, and reasons for the eventual downfall of our initial approach. I then describe the key concept that enables successful techniques.
