Abstract
A force directed graph may display time series data using a set of playback controls to pause, play, reverse, fast forward, slow down, or otherwise control the display of the time series data. The playback controls may be used in a real time or near real time application to which data sets are displayed and the speed with which the data sets may be displayed. In one architecture, the force directed graph may be deployed using a rendering engine that receives data and renders the data into a graph. A playback controller may send updates to the rendering engine according to user inputs from the playback controls.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a data collector that receives trace data comprising data sets, each of said data sets corresponding with a time point in a time series;
- a data browser that plays said trace data in a sequence by presenting each of said data sets in sequence to a visualizer;
- said visualizer that generates a graph from said data sets;
- a user interface that displays said graph;
- and
- a control set within said user interface comprising a pause button, said pause button causing said data browser to pause presenting said data sets.
A method performed by a computer processor, said method comprising:
- receiving trace data comprising a plurality of data sets, each of said data sets representing a time period in a time series;
- playing back each of said data sets in sequence as defined in said time series;
- visualizing each of said data sets as said each of said data sets are played back;
- receiving a pause control input and causing said playing back to be paused;
- and
- receiving a play control input and causing said playing back to be resumed.
