1. A system of image analysis of planning problems modeled as linear programing (LP) problems, comprising:
a computer, comprising a processor and memory, the computer configured to:
receive an LP matrix representing constraints and variables of at least a portion of a planning problem;
identify functions of the variables and the constraints;
color pixels of a problem image based, at least in part, a link between each pixel and a corresponding individual variable or constraint to determine a color of each pixel;
determine locations of the pixels on the problem image based, at least in part, on a link between each pixel and a column matrix location of a sorted variable index and a row matrix location of a sorted constraint index;
display a visualization of the problem image based on the colored pixels; and
update the visualization of the problem image based on receiving one or more updates to the variables.
