We discuss the problems to be solved to develop a web-based vector field visualization system. Furthermore we present the system CurVis as one solution of these problems. As part of the CurVus system, two new global visualization techniques for vector fields are introduced: curvature plots and IDraw. Their combined application as hybrid technique is discussed as well. Finally applications and examples of the new techniques in the CurVis system are shown.
