Abstract
We present a set of advanced techniques for the
visualization of 2D Poincare maps. Since 2D Poincare
maps are a mathematical abstraction of periodic or
quasiperiodic 3D flows, we propose to embed the
2D visualization with standard 3D techniques to improve the
understanding of the Poincare maps. Methods to enhance
the representation of the relation $x\leftrightarrow{}P(x)$,
e.g., the use of spot noise, are presented as well as
techniques to visualize the repeated application of $P$,
e.g., the approximation of $P$ as a warp function. It is
shown that animation can be very useful to further improve
the visualization. For example, the animation of the
construction of Poincare map $P$ is inherently a proper
visualization. During the paper we present a set of
examples which demonstrate the usefulness of our techniques.
