• a first input device to receive user interaction defining a shape input;
• a second input device to receive user interaction defining a text input;
• a repository within the memory to persist a database;
• a shape recognition module to recognize the shape input and define a chart according to the shape input;

• receive a user interaction defining a shape input;
• transform the shape input into a chart definition;
• display a graphic representation based on the chart definition;
• receive a user interaction defining a text input;
• transform the text input into a query to a database;
• and
