- Hello,
-
- I'm a newcomer to khoros and I find the variety of options daunting.
- I have a data presentation problem that is similar to the 4-d data
- problem that this thread involves.
-
- For a nonuniform set of of x and y (two independent variables) I have
- two functions f(x,y) and g(x,y). For my problem f(x,y) takes the role
- of a parameter estimate and g(x,y) is the quality of the estimate
- (the reciprocal of the variance) as a function of x and y.
-
- I'm thinking that I could represent f(x,y) and g(x,y) as a sphere
- where the height of the sphere above the surface is f(x,y) and the
- g(x,y) is represented by either the diameter of the sphere or a
- "brightness" of the sphere.
-
- Visually, the plot will be dominated by high quality data, but the
- estimate f(x,y) would be available at all points regardless of quality.
-
- Hopefully, I've been clear to this point.
- I'd like hear from people who
- a) know of a way to do this in khoros.
- b) know of other fields/applications where this type of data
- is routinely presented (I'll probably cross-post to sci.geology)
-

- thanks,
