We used a similar technique.  The graph, which was mentioned by
others on this forum, is a spectral chart and can be seen in all
its gory details at

    http://www.quant.co.za/OptStrat2.html

Although we do not do things this way anymore, it was so helpful
to see the topology so visually and we have devised a number of
measures to quantify this visual inspection.

Just a note - there is nothing wrong with this page, nor with the
information presented on it, but it is quite a bit dated.  Another
guy did a similar thing around 2000 and published some TASC articles
about it, with these spheres in 3D where the size of the sphere would
be the standard error in the profits or something like that.  Amazing
graphics used to do these things.  We often use four or five or more
parameters, so we quickly quantified the stuff rather than figure out
how to present it visually, and we are now using those measures.
