Abstract

A method for visualizing high density graphical data sets for display is effectuated by determining the graphical density corresponding to an area of the display, where the graphical density is of a non-uniform nature. A non-linear visual space transformation corresponding to the graphical density is processed. Resolution in the area of the display is increased in response to the non-linear visual space transformation and the area is displayed with increased resolution.
