Interactive Composite Plot for Visualizing Multi-Variable Data

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

• presenting a plurality of graphs for analyzing data values in the multi-variable dataset, wherein each graph is associated with a pair of variables and includes a plurality of elements configured to visualize a subset of the data values that are related to the pair of variables;
• receiving a request to perform an interactive function on a first element of a graph that relates the first element to another graph from the plurality of graphs, the first element representing an input value of a variable from the pair of variables;
• and
• performing the interactive function in response to the request.

A computer implemented system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a display;
• and
• memory storing instructions configured to:
• present, on the display, a plurality of graphs for analyzing data values in the multi-variable dataset, wherein each graph is associated with a pair of variables and includes a plurality of elements configured to visualize a subset of the data values that are related to the pair of variables,
• receive an associative highlighting request on a first element of a graph, the first element representing an input value of a variable from the pair of variables,
• identify an aggregation process used in generating a second element of the another graph, and
• partially highlighting the second element of the another graph when the aggregation process is a sum operation, wherein the second element of the another graph is partially highlighted according to the portion of second element that is attributed to the input value.
