ABSTRACT
We present an interactive visualization based on parallel coordinates that enables comparison, generation, and modification of multiple parametric design alternatives. Such capabilities are lacking in existing tools. Initial evaluation suggests that our proposal improves usability over existing tools, has novel parameter space exploration capabilities, and also reveals a space for designing direct interactions with visualizations to support parametric exploration.
