abstract = "Spatial selections are a ubiquitous concept in visualization. By localizing  particular features, they can be analyzed and compared in different  views. However, the semantics of such selections are often dependent  on other parameter settings and it can be difficult to reconstruct  them without additional information. In this paper, we present the  concept of contextual snapshots as an effective means for managing  spatial selections in visualized data. The selections are automatically  associated with the context in which they have been created. Contextual  snapshots can be also used as the basis for interactive integrated  and linked views, which enable in-place investigation and comparison  of multiple visual representations of data. Our approach is implemented  as a flexible toolkit with welldefined interfaces for integration  into existing systems. We demonstrate the power and generality of  our techniques by applying them to several distinct scenarios such  as the visualization of simulation data and the analysis of historical  documents.",
