We present our method to solve the challenge of visualizing multivariate data
with uncertainty in a single image. First, layers of spots enhanced with
contour patterns are designed to encode multivariate information. Second,
star glyphs are adapted to encode uncertainty information with each branch
representing the uncertainty of an individual variable. Layers of sparse and
similar glyphs allow for an easy and accurate interpretation of uncertainty.
Distinct shapes and colors of spots and stars reduce the interference between
the individual variables and their uncertainties. This feature enhancement
allows the major features of individual variables to stand out in a sea of
information.
