Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for use in a data visualization system having a data model. The data model contains data observations. A first view and a second view are used to display at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model. Conditional data that is associated with the second view specifies how the second view's display is modified based upon a selection of a data observation within the first view.
Claims33
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data display system having a data model, wherein the data model contains data observations, comprising:
- a first view and a second view that display at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model;
- wherein the first view is associated with first conditional data;
- wherein the first view's conditional data is used to determine whether or not the first view's display is modified based upon a selection of a data observation within the second view.
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data visualization system, comprising:
- a data model containing data observations;
- a first view, second view, and a third view that display at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model;
- first conditional data that has an association with the first view;
- second conditional data that has an association with the second view;
- wherein the conditional data associated with the first view determines how data selected in the third view is to be displayed within the first view;
- wherein the conditional data associated with the second view determines how data selected in the third view is to be displayed within the second view;
- wherein the first view displays different selected data than the second view because of the first view's conditional data.
A computer-implemented method for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising the steps of:
- associating first conditional data with a first view, wherein the first conditional data includes a logical function;
- receiving data related to a selection of data in a second view;
- receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- applying the logical function to the data selected in the second and third views to determine how to modify the first view's display.
A computer-implemented method for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising the steps of:
- associating first conditional data with a first view;
- associating second conditional data with a second view;
- receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- determining based upon the second view's conditional data that all of the selected data is to be displayed in the second view;
- and
- determining based upon the second view's conditional data that a subset of the selected data is to be displayed in the second view.
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising:
- means for associating first conditional data with a first view, wherein the first conditional data includes a logical function;
- means for receiving data related to a selection of data in a second view;
- means for receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- means for applying the logical function to the data selected in the second and third views to determine how to modify the first view's display.
