A method of displaying a virtual electrogram for a virtual bipole includes receiving a plurality of electrophysiological signals from a respective plurality of electrodes carried by a multi-dimensional catheter； using the received electrophysiological signals to compute a plurality of virtual electrograms associated with a respective plurality of virtual bipoles, each having a corresponding virtual bipole orientation； selecting a virtual bipole orientation； and displaying the virtual electrogram associated with the virtual bipole having the selected virtual bipole orientation. Aspects of the disclosure can be executed through a graphical user interface of an electroanatomical mapping system that also incorporates a visualization processor.
