Visual Analysis of Spinels with General Line Coordinates

Abstract

In the geological context, the analysis of multidimensional data is a very common task and requires visualization techniques for exploration. General Line Coordinates (GLC) is a technique especially intended for lossless representation among the various techniques available for the visualization ofmultidimensional data. In this study, the application of GLC for pattern analysis and identification in mineral datasets is investigated. Furthermore, we develop a web-based tool to explore the possibility of employing GLC to leverage these approaches to derive visual discovery rules for pattern recognition.
