Abstract
This study presents the use of texture functionalities in order to increase the possibilities of data sets' visualization. We start from a specific iconic representation of a vectorial field in which, e.g., a cone-shaped solid icon represents a vector in the 3D space. We then produce undulations on the surface of the icon and a perturbation of its colour by means of texture techniques. We observed that mapping undulations and colour perturbation to other variables of the phenomenon describing scalar fields, increases the amount of icon-conveyed information. Then we report some remarks about the implementation of a procedural texture function and the texture capabilities are demonstrated examining an application example where the implemented function has been used in a scientific visualization environment.
