Higher Order Parallel Coordinates

We extend the concept of parallel coordinates by drawing free-form curves instead of line segments to connect points on adjacent coordinate axes. This way we can use the space between two adjacent axes to encode more information. Using examples we show that we are able to detect correlations between more than two dimensions.
