Generating graphical depictions of data sets based on mapping paths of graphical objects to data properties

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processing device,
• wherein the processing device is configured for performing operations comprising:
• displaying, via a graphical interface, a vector-based graphic having (i) a first graphical object defined by a first plurality of connected paths that includes a first path, (ii) a second graphical object defined by a second plurality of connected paths that includes a second path, and (iii) a third graphical object that includes a third path,
• receiving, via the graphical interface, input specifying a first modification to a first visual property of the first graphical object and a second modification to a second visual property of the second graphical object,
• determining that the first path is mapped to a data property in a data set, that the second path lacks a mapping to any data property in the data set, and that the third path is also mapped to the data property,
• applying a constraint to the first modification based on determining that the first path is mapped to the data property in the data set, wherein applying the constraint to the first modification comprises:
• determining a data relationship between data property values of the data property that are respectively mapped to the first path and the third path, and
• restricting visual property values of the first visual property and a third visual property of the third path, respectively, to maintain a visual relationship between the visual property values such that the visual relationship corresponds to the data relationship between the data property values, and
• updating the graphical interface to include a modified version of the vector-based graphic having the first modification with the applied constraint and the second modification without the constraint.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a processor for modifying vector-based graphics using path-based mapping between graphical objects and data sets, the program code comprising:

• program code for displaying, via a graphical interface, a vector-based graphic having (i) a first graphical object defined by a first plurality of connected paths that includes a first path, (ii) a second graphical object defined by a second plurality of connected paths that includes a second path, and (iii) a third graphical object that includes a third path;
• program code for receiving, via the graphical interface, input specifying a first modification to a first visual property of the first graphical object and a second modification to a second visual property of the second graphical object;
• program code for determining that the first path is mapped to a data property in a data set, that the second path lacks a mapping to any data property in the data set, and that the third path is also mapped to the data property;
• program code for applying a constraint to the first modification based on determining that the first path is mapped to the data property in the data set, wherein applying the constraint to the first modification comprises:
• determining a data relationship between data property values of the data property that are respectively mapped to the first path and the third path, and
• restricting visual property values of the first visual property and a third visual property of the third path, respectively, to maintain a visual relationship between the visual property values such that the visual relationship corresponds to the data relationship between the data property values;
• and
• program code for updating the graphical interface to include a modified version of the vector-based graphic having the first modification with the applied constraint and the second modification without the constraint.
