Just ran across a great post by Andrew Trice on visualizing large (huge) data sets in Flash. Stuff like this is near and dear to my heart.
He did a great job explaining what the issues are when graphing thousands or millions data points and how best to deal with performance issues. This type of work is applicable to many things not just graphing. The pixel level manipulation he uses to handle the largest of sets is very similiar to the approaches I had to use in my Photo Mosaic application. Lots of heavy lifting but it works well.
Wanted to share this link since I wasted some time trying to hunt it down. More of a reminder for myself than anything.
