Abstract

The paper presents direct visualization techniques of multidimensional nuclear spectra as well as visualization techniques based on projections of embedded subspaces. While the first group of graphical models is limited to four dimensions, the second one can be theoretically extended to any dimension. The presented algorithms of visualization have been implemented in nuclear data acquisition, processing and visualization system developed at the Institute of Physics, Slovak Academy of Sciences. The paper focuses on presentation of nuclear spectra. However the majority of algorithms can be successfully applied for visualization of scalar arrays of other data types.
