This week I started a new project called reverse mapping. This is the process of dividing a plane into a rectilinear grid and assigning a value to each grid based on the average value of that regions as portrayed over the data set intended to be represented. In this case, I was representing φ (phi) in a cross section of a Spherical Torus Reactor, and the image still had the same problems as many other techniques that have been tried in the past. It has a limit to resolution, and it doesn't portray the geometry of the data set well. We may look at attempting to render the file in a better program in the future, or maybe attempting to adjust the reverse mapping algorithm.
