description Parallel coordinates are a well-known and valuable technique for the analysis and visualization of high dimensional data sets. However, while Inselberg emphasizes that the strength of parallel coordinates as a methodology is rooted in exploration and interactivity, the set of interaction techniques is currently limited. Axes can be re-ordered and brushing (simple, angular or multi-dimensional) can be performed. In this paper, we propose a force-directed algorithm and related interaction techniques to support the exploration of parallel coordinate plots through a physical metaphor. Our parallel-coordinates visualization offers novel user interaction beyond the standard techniques by allowing the user to rotate the axis according to forcedirected polylines. The new interaction provides the user with a more immersive experience for data exploration that results in greater intuition of the data, especially in cases where many polylines overlap. We demonstrate our approach, then present the results of a qualitative evaluation of the system.
