Abstract

The present invention comprises an improved system and method for visualizing data. In a preferred form of the invention, there is provided an improved system and method for comprehending and communicating financial data, and their complex interdependencies, through the use of a novel three dimensional orthogonal chart system. In one preferred form of the invention, there is provided a three dimensional orthogonal chart system for visualizing data comprising at least two data sets, wherein one data set is represented as a ribbon propagating along a first axis and the second data set is represented as a curtain propagating along the first axis. In another preferred form of the invention, there is provided a three dimensional orthogonal chart system for visualizing data comprising a plurality of data sets, wherein each of the data sets is represented as a separate ribbon propagating along a first axis, with the separate ribbons being displaced from one another along another axis. In another preferred form of the invention, there is provided a three dimensional orthogonal chart system for visualizing data comprising the pricing, distribution, and trading activity for option contracts,…
