Abstract

The present invention provides a visualization method and apparatus for multidimensional data. According to an embodiment, there is provided a visualization method for multidimensional data including a plurality of parameters to be viewed which are related to a given object, including: displaying the plurality of parameters to be viewed which are related to a given object in different layers along a Z axis of a 3-D coordinate system, wherein each of the plurality of parameters is displayed in a 2-D plane; determining one of the 2-D planes as an interested plane; and in response to focusing on an object instance of the object by a user, linking and displaying locations of the object instance on other planes.
