The image shows four grid visualizations demonstrating different distortion techniques. The top-left panel, labeled "Regular Grid," depicts a standard Cartesian grid with evenly spaced horizontal and vertical lines. The top-right panel, labeled "Fisheye in One Dimension," distorts horizontal grid lines to create a focused region while leaving vertical spacing unchanged. The bottom-left panel, labeled "Cartesian Fisheye View," applies a concentric distortion to the grid, emphasizing the center. Finally, the bottom-right panel, labeled "Polar Fisheye View," warps the grid into a circular shape, resembling a globe.D
