An integrated system for database visualization

This paper present details of an integrated database visualization system. The system supports the visualization process from an end-to-end perspective. Included in the system is a mechanism for performing transformations to the data being visualized through the use of database relations. This mapping process provides an abstract mechanism for supporting data to geometry transformations under the control of a user-defined, declarative language. The system supports a wide variety of visualization techniques, including scatterplots, bar charts and surface plots.
