Chapter 5ResultsIn the previous chapters the underlying concepts of <strong>Cash<strong>Flow</strong></strong> were introduced.Our experience shows that the full power of the scene graph in combination withscientific visualization can only be unleashed using our proposed triumvirate of Multi-Data, DataAccess and Grid node.5.1 Combining MultiData Node & DataAccess NodeTo show the full potential of the MultiData node and the DataAccess node we want tocompare four possibilities to combine these nodes. The visual result remains the same<strong>for</strong> all four possibilities and is shown in figure 5.1. The three images in figure 5.1 showthe same set of periodic random data mapped to three different coordinate systems. Inthe left image the data is mapped to a spherical coordinate system, the middle imageshows a 2D polar coordinate system and a Cartesian coordinate system is used in theright image. In this simple visualization each grid is stored separately, generated fromthe same initial data using the same color map. The color map is also generated fromthe initial data.Figure 5.1: <strong>Cash<strong>Flow</strong></strong> basic example: A planar surface rendered using spherical (left), polar (middle) andCartesian coordinate system (right). The color map is generated from periodic random data (20x20 values)and is applied to all three grids. Figures 5.3 – 5.6 show possible simplified scene graphs generating thisvisualization. The complete corresponding scene graph to this image is show in figure 5.7 (page 106) andfigure 5.8 shows the corresponding process flow diagram.101
