摘要
Few mathematical visualization tools support integrated, flexible interaction with complex, 4D mathematical concepts. This paper presents a solution to exploring uniform 4D polytopes through a mathematical visualization tool by introducing an approach for adjusting the degree of visual complexity of these complicated geometric structures. This approach introduces a number of interactive techniques: contextualizing, filtering, focus+scoping, and stacking-unstacking. Although these techniques can be effectively used in isolation, their integrated application provides highly specified and sophisticated interaction with polytopes, helping users make sense of these challenging mathematical structures. Exploring complicated structures from other domains such as chemistry and biology may benefit from this approach.
