1. A method, comprising:
- generating a display output from multi-parameter data using a computer, the display output depicting a volumetric data space having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising an object axis, a parameter axis, and a time axis;
generating, in response to user input selecting a first data point along one of the mutually perpendicular axes associated with a lower-order volumetric data space, a display output depicting the lower-order volumetric data space defined by the first data point and having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising a lower-order object axis, a lower-order parameter axis, and a time axis; and
generating, in response to user input selecting a second data point along one of the mutually perpendicular axes that is not associated with a lower-order volumetric data space, a display output depicting a two-dimensional data slice parallel to any two of the mutually perpendicular axes defined by the second data point.

Abstract
A computer facilitates multiple parameters data analysis by special visualization and navigation methods. Data to be analyzed is loaded from an external source the computer displays the data in response to user input using a variety of methods including data tables, slices of data spaces, hierarchically navigated data spaces, dynamic slice tables, filters, sorting, color-mapping, numerical operations, and other methods.

12. An apparatus comprising a memory holding instructions for:
-
generating a display output from multi-parameter data depicting a volumetric data space having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising an object axis, a parameter axis, and a time axis; generating a display output depicting a lower-order volumetric data space defined by a first user-selected data point and having three mutually perpendicular axes comprising a lower-order object axis, a lower-order parameter axis, and a time axis in response to user input selecting the first data point along one of the mutually perpendicular axes; and generating, in response to user input selecting a second data point along one of the mutually perpendicular axes that is not associated with a lower-order volumetric data space, a display output depicting a two-dimensional data slice parallel to any two of the mutually perpendicular axes defined by the second data point; and a processor that executes the instructions. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
