Tetraview

A tetraview is a visualization technique for bivariate complex functions. In the simplest case, the graph of a complex-valued function  can be considered as a hypersurface in  with four real coordinates . Carrying out a rotation in four dimensions and projecting the first three coordinates into (ordinary)  then allows the changes from  to  to  to  to be visualized continuously.
