Abstract
In a data visualization system, a method of generating a representation of data values for a plurality of data points being visualized in an image space, the method comprising the steps of the data visualization system: i) retrieving data values from a data storage module in communication with the data visualization system, wherein a first data value is associated with a first data point, ii) determining a size and a transparency value for a first icon based on the first data value, iii) rendering the first icon in two dimensions in a position associated with the first data point in the image space, wherein the first icon is rendered based on the determined size and transparency values to generate a representation of the data value.

In a data visualization computing system, implemented on an electronic computing device, a method of generating a graphical representation of data values for a plurality of data points being visualized in an image space, the graphical representation enabling a user to visualize information that would otherwise be hidden, the method comprising the steps of the data visualization computing system:
- i) retrieving data values from a data storage module in communication with the data visualization system;
- ii) ordering the data values;
- iii determining a size for an icon representative of each data value, wherein the size is based on the data value, wherein larger data values have a larger icon;
- iv) determining a transparency value for each of the icons based on the order of the data values, wherein larger icons are more transparent than smaller icons;
- v) rendering the icons in two dimensions in a position associated with the data values in the image space, wherein the order of rendering is from the largest to the smallest data value;
- and
- vi) displaying on a display device the graphical representation.

- v) rendering the icons in two dimensions in a position associated with the data values in the image space, wherein the order of rendering is from the smallest to the largest data value and wherein when a later rendered icon overlaps one or more earlier rendered icons each overlapping areas is rendered using the determined transparency of the earlier rendered icon;
- and
- vi) displaying on a display device the graphical representation.
