Hi, I have rewritten this article from scratch, focusing on the new field of science, which emerged as subfield of computer graphics in the 1980s. It is especially not my intention that this article is going to develop as a main article about visualization in science. This was the problem with the first article here.
This new article is part of the development of a series of new articles, thematically:
And biographical articles, new and or improved:
And the creation of several new categories in wikicommons, and finding new images.
I hope this will improve the Wikipedia representation on visualisation, and all it's aspects. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
The current "Scientific visualization topics" is intended to give an overview of the core topics/issues of scientific visualization. In the development of this section I compared the following three sources:
In the article I made a synthesis between the data in these sources, and the related subjects present in the current Wikipedia. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 20:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
The content of all present publications listed in the further reading section has been checked:
Maybe even more important, specific publications about information visualisation, and computer graphics have been removed. This list should only apply to publications that really relate to this field. I hope we can keep it this way. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 20:17, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
In "1980s : The foundation", an excerpt of "Visualization in Scientific Computing", Computer Graphics 21,6 (November 1987), is cited through "The Synthetic Image as Language", - I do not know why this is necessary. First we are told that the excerpt comes from The Synthetic Image as Language, and then appended to the excerpt is a reference to the Computer Graphics article.
I do not dispute that The Synthetic Image as Language adds to this article (it is an excellent piece), but it does so in a confusing and convoluted way. Rather than simply rework this to omit the reference-by-proxy, I'd like to just make a note of it, in the hopes that some better solution is found.

Many of the images on the visualization page now make use of the infamous rainbow color map. It's generally agreed upon that this is a poor quality color map and liberally throwing it around on the Wikipedia article about scientific visualization is not such a great idea. More information about why the color map is bad can be found in the articles "Data visualization: the end of the rainbow", IEEE Spectrum 35,12, pp. 52-59, 1998 and "Rainbow Color Map (Still) Considered Harmful", IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications 27,2, pp. 14-17, 2007. Images using this color map should be replaced or removed. 130.161.157.67 (talk) 13:41, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
The image File:Cliffflit.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

I removed the following red links from the article:
Links in an article like this should be restrickted to people with an Wikipedia article. That is the whole idea here. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:05, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
I will check these persons some more:
So I guess there is little doubt these are notable persons in the field of Scientific visualization, who all seem worthy to have an own Wikipedia article. However the right procedure here remains, to first start such an article and then add it to the article here. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 23:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Due to possible violation of copyright, see WP:Copyvio, I have removed one or more section of this article for now.

This article or section appears to have been copied and pasted from various Wikipedia articles, possibly in violation of a copyright. This has occurred last year, July 2008 here on User:Mdd/Scientific visualization, when I started recrearing this article.

This article is started as a draft version on User:Mdd/Scientific visualization. The following listing will give a copy-paste registration of that articlë:
That whole article, see here is copy/paste here 12 July 2008.

Shouldn't we add Matlab to the software section.--37.8.3.27 (talk) 22:20, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
There is a page called Scientific illustration, which redirects to Illustration#Scientific and not to this article. So, is there and difference between scientific visualization and scientific illustration? —Kri (talk) 13:00, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
