  abstract =   "We introduce a framework for interactive visualization of
               global flow features in large unsteady 3D flow fields. It is
               based on selective visualization using dense precomputed
               integral lines (streamlines, path lines) linked together
               with all other data attributes. This way we are able to
               provide an uniform and interactive environment for custom
               feature specification and visualization of non-local data
               aspects. These are related to the long term flow behavior,
               thus their description using only local properties is not
               possible. We demonstrate the benefits of working with
               semi-global features by a simple strategy for recognition of
               recirculation zones within 3D vector fields, judging on a
               self-proximity measure of integral lines.",
