In an embodiment of the invention, a method of chart decomposition and sequencing in a limited display device is provided. The method includes generating a data visualization for raw data and partitioning the data visualization into a set of a discrete number of segments. The method also includes establishing a sequence for the segments in the set. Finally, the method includes displaying the segments sequentially in frames of an animation according to the sequence in a display of the limited display device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of automatic chart decomposition and sequencing in a host computing system for display by a limited display device, the method comprising: generating by the host computing system, a data visualization for raw data; automatically partitioning the entire data visualization into a set of a discrete number of different segments as different images which when combined form the entire data visualization each of the segments being different than each other of the segments; establishing a sequence for the different images of the different segments in the set; and, displaying each of the different images of the different segments sequentially in correspondingly different frames of a single animation according to the sequence in a display of the limited display device in order to display the entire data visualization. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the sequential display of the segments occurs as a slide show, each slide of the slide show comprising a different one of the segments, a transition between each slide occurring at after a pre-specified time delay. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the sequential display of the segments occurs as a slide show, each slide of the slide show comprising a different one of the segments, a transition between each slide occurring manually responsive to user input at the limited display device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the data visualization is a pie chart and each segment is a different classification of data visualized in the pie chart. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the data visualization is a bar chart and each segment is a different bar of the bar chart. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the data visualization is a line graph and each segment is a different portion along an x-axis of the line graph bounded by specific data points in the line graph. ### Claim 7 A limited display data processing system configured for automatic chart decomposition and sequencing in a host computing system for display by a limited display device, the limited display data processing system comprising: a host computer comprising memory and at least one processor; and, an automatic chart decomposition and sequencing module executing in the memory of the host computer, the module comprising program code enabled upon execution in the memory to generate a data visualization for raw data, to automatically partition the entire data visualization into a set of a discrete number of different segments as different images which when combined form the entire data visualization each of the segments being different than each other of the segments, to establish a sequence for the different images of the different segments in the set, and to display each of the different images of the different segments sequentially in correspondingly different frames of a single animation according to the sequence in a display of the limited display device in order to display the entire data visualization. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the limited display is part of the host computer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the limited display is part of a limited display device communicatively coupled to the host computer over a computer communications network. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the sequential display of the segments occurs as a slide show, each slide of the slide show comprising a different one of the segments, a transition between each slide occurring at after a pre-specified time delay. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the sequential display of the segments occurs as a slide show, each slide of the slide show comprising a different one of the segments, a transition between each slide occurring manually responsive to user input at the limited display device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the data visualization is a pie chart and each segment is a different classification of data visualized in the pie chart. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the data visualization is a bar chart and each segment is a different bar of the bar chart. ### Claim 14 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the data visualization is a line graph and each segment is a different portion along an x-axis of the line graph bounded by specific data points in the line graph. ### Claim 15 A computer program product for automatic chart decomposition and sequencing in a host computing system for display by a limited display device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the host computing system to cause the host computing system to perform a method comprising: generating by the host computing system, a data visualization for raw data; automatically partitioning the entire data visualization into a set of a discrete number of different segments as different images which when combined form the entire data visualization each of the segments being different than each other of the segments; establishing a sequence for the different images of the different segments in the set; and, displaying each of the different images of the different segments sequentially in correspondingly different frames of a single animation according to the sequence in a display of the limited display device in order to display the entire data visualization. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the sequential display of the segments occurs as a slide show, each slide of the slide show comprising a different one of the segments, a transition between each slide occurring at after a pre-specified time delay. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the sequential display of the segments occurs as a slide show, each slide of the slide show comprising a different one of the segments, a transition between each slide occurring manually responsive to user input at the limited display device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the data visualization is a pie chart and each segment is a different classification of data visualized in the pie chart. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the data visualization is a bar chart and each segment is a different bar of the bar chart. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the data visualization is a line graph and each segment is a different portion along an x-axis of the line graph bounded by specific data points in the line graph.
