Visualization using colour: visual presentation of events in particle physics

Аннотация

This paper applies a model of colour vision to achieve optimal use of colour in a software system that visualizes the results of experiments in high energy physics. It shows how the elements of the visualization were designed and provides details of why particular colours were chosen. By grounding these ®ndings in psychological research, it is able to show how other computer systems that use colour may profitably apply this methodology.
