Illustrative techniques are a new and exciting direction in visualization research. Traditional techniques which have been used by scientific illustrators for centuries are re-examined under the light of modern computer technology. In this paper, we discuss the use of the focus+context concept for the illustrative visualization of volumetric data. We give an overview of the state-ofthe-art and discuss recent approaches which employ this concept in novel ways. 1998 ACM Subject Classification I.3.5 Computational Geometry and Object Modeling, J.3 Life and Medical Sciences Keywords and phrases Illustrative Visualization, Volumetric Data Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/DFU.SciViz.2010.136
