  • We tend to think of it as “two-dimensional,” but it is a mapping of multidimensional vectors to two dimensions.
  • This way you can solve the problem of automatic layout: “Manual placement is an intellectual product and I don’t want it to be overwritten by automatic generation.
    • We can do automatic layout in the immediate subspace.
  • Difference from having multiple views
    • Can interpolate arbitrarily between views
