can channel differences be discerned?
Via Miriah Meyer
Offers very good discriminability

separable channels: can be judged individually integral channels: are viewed holis5cally

Correla=ons only visible between neighboring axis pairs: axis order ma^ers allow user to reorder axis

Instead of showing all points, show a band represen=ng a cluster: mean: opaque line min/max: illustrated by band width with decreasing opacity from mean cluster
Fua 1999
Cluster: lines that share similar shapes. Interac5vely varying the similarity threshold allows us to “unpack” clusters
Similar to parallel coordinates, but axes radiate from a common origin
