Abstract: A method, including generating a three-dimensional (3D) map as a plurality of points illustrating a characteristic of a 3D heart chamber, the 3D heart chamber having an opening bounded by a perimeter. The method further includes transforming the perimeter into a closed two-dimensional (2D) figure having an interior. The plurality of points illustrating the characteristic are projected onto the interior of the 2D figure so as to generate a 2D map of the characteristic of the 3D heart chamber.

Abstract: A method for mapping, including measuring coordinates of a first set of points on a first surface of a first portion of a three-dimensional (3D) element and generating a first volume enclosed by the first set of points. The method also includes measuring coordinates of a second set of points on a second surface of a second portion of the 3D element and generating a second volume enclosed by the second set of points. The method continues by connecting the first and second volumes to form a combined volume, and generating coordinates of a third set of points on a third surface of the combined volume to form a 3D surface map of the element.

Abstract: A method for forming an electropotential map, including: measuring locations of points on a surface of a body organ, and measuring electrical potentials of a subset of the points. The method further includes assigning respective resistances to line segments joining the points so as to define a resistor mesh, and generating an electropotential map of the surface by applying an harmonic function to the resistor mesh responsive to the measured electrical potentials.

Abstract: A method for mapping a body organ, including receiving a three-dimensional (3D) map of the body organ together with items of auxiliary information having respective location coordinates in a frame of reference of the 3D map and apportioning the items into a plurality of sub-groups. The method further includes assigning to a selected sub-group a visibility parameter indicative of a relative visibility of the selected sub-group in relation to the map and to other sub-groups. The method also includes displaying the 3D map of the body organ in a selected orientation while selectively superimposing on the 3D map one or more of the items in the selected sub-group responsively to the orientation, the respective location coordinates of the items, and the assigned visibility parameter.
