Image-based analysis. Aggregates that represent colors are images.
Therefore, the AR framework provides a simple location for doing
image-based analysis. Also provides a natural extension to metrics
based on discretized regions if you do measurements on non-color functions
(like 2D distribution of the counts). This can be used as a basis for
"data tours" where appropriate views or transform functions are
selected/generated based on the properties of the aggregate set.
