Volume visualizations can have drastically different appearances when viewed using a variety of transfer functions. A problem
then occurs in trying to organize many different views on one screen. We conducted a user study of four layout techniques
for these multiple views. We timed participants as they separated different aspects of volume data for both time-invariant
and time-variant data using one of four different layout schemes. The layout technique had no impact on performance when used
with time-invariant data. With time-variant data, however, the multiple view layouts all resulted in better times than did
a single view interface. Surprisingly, different layout techniques for multiple views resulted in no noticeable difference
in user performance. In this paper, we describe our study and present the results, which could be used in the design of future
volume visualization software to improve the productivity of the scientists who use it.
