Abstract
A system and method for processing a stored original data set for subsequent display on a user interface of a computer, the original data set having multiple dimensions and a number of original data points greater than the number of pixels available on the user interface. The system comprises a data reduction module for reducing the original data set to produce a reduced data set having less than the number of original data points, a data resizing module for dynamically resizing the received reduced data set to produce a resized data set for use in generating a display of pixels appropriate to the number of available pixels, and a pixel module configured for using a predefined color scale for assigning a unique color as the representative pixel value of a respective data value of the resized data points included in the display of pixels.
