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 ![(R[z],I[z],R[w(z)],I[w(z)])](/images/equations/Tetraview/Inline3.svg)
. Carrying out a rotation in four
dimensions and projecting the first three coordinates into (ordinary) 
then allows the changes from ![(R[z],I[z],R[w(z)])](/images/equations/Tetraview/Inline5.svg)
to ![(R[z],I[z],I[w(z)])](/images/equations/Tetraview/Inline6.svg)
to ![(R[w(z)],I[w(z)],R[z])](/images/equations/Tetraview/Inline7.svg)
to ![(R[w(z)],I[w(z)],I[z])](/images/equations/Tetraview/Inline8.svg)
to be visualized continuously.
