Abstract
A user interface uses histogram equalization to allow easier manipulation and visualization of a data set, especially data sets having values that are not distributed uniformly. The user interface can show values of a data set in different colors or shades of colors, or a combination of these, or in grayscale. Additionally, values can also be represented according to a size or area relative to other values. A user may change views of the data by adjusting controls of the interface including slider bars, dials, tool bars, button bars, and others, and combinations of these.
