System and method for selecting a time stamp and generating user interface elements

A system for generating user interface elements comprising:

• a data analysis module arranged to identify a plurality of classes in input data, wherein each class is associated with a plurality of characteristic values each with a corresponding time stamp;
• a receiver module arranged to receive a selection of a first time stamp, wherein the data analysis module is arranged to determine a first selection of the characteristic values each associated with the first time stamp;
• an element generation module arranged to generate a plurality of user interface elements each associated with a class by calculating, for each user interface element, a two-dimensional area based on the characteristic value in the first selection associated with the class of the element;
• a positioning module arranged to generate a position layout by determining positions for the user interface elements;
• and
• a display module arranged to display the plurality of user interface elements based on the position layout and two-dimensional areas determined for each user interface element, wherein each user interface element comprises an arcuate shape and the positioning module is arranged to position the user interface elements relative to one another, such that each user interface element does not overlap with an adjacent user interface element.
