Categorization - Scientific Visualization: Uncertainty, Multifield, Biomedical, and Scalable Visualization - page 111

11.2.5 Summary
Clearly, a breakdown according to techniques runs a similar risk of repetition to the
risk observed for a breakdown according to types. However, as we can see from the
discussion above, a breakdown according to techniques has more obvious and clearer
demarcations, in addition to providing a roadmap for as yet unidentified techniques.
11.3 Conclusion
In short, while we can categorize multifield visualization either by the type of data
or by the type of technique, we have chosen the latter for two reasons. First, similar
techniques are visible across all types of data, and it is therefore easier to consider a
single technique and, if necessary, its application to different types. Second, it allows
us to extrapolate future techniques out from the accumulated experience of working
with single-field data.
