Abstract
The task of systems for the visualization of scientific data is to compute images representing the contents of a given data set. This data set, of course, cannot be altered in order to compute better images. Therefore, modeling is not used to create data sets describing objects, as e.g. in CAD systems. Modeling in scientific visualization means to find the method and the way to compute an image from a given data set, which presents certain features in that data set in the best possible manner to the user.
