The word "Visualization" comes from the English word "visual", the original meaning is vivid and vivid, and it may be more appropriate to translate it into "icon" in Chinese. In fact, transforming any abstract transaction or process into a graphical representation can be called visualization. Computer-related such as visual interface (Windows), visual programming (Visual C++) and so on. However, as a discipline term, the word "visualization" officially appeared in a symposium held by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in February 1987. The formal report published after the seminar gives the definition of scientific computing visualization, the fields it covers and the direction of short-term and long-term research. This indicates that "visualization of scientific computing" has matured internationally as a discipline.
