Visually interactive and iterative analysis of data patterns by a user

A method to iteratively and interactively process a data pattern of interest to a user, the method comprising:

• accessing a plurality of data elements from a database;
• displaying, via an interactive graphical user interface, a visual representation of a plurality of data elements and respective data relations between the data elements, and wherein each data element is represented by pixel attributes of a pixel;
• and
• iteratively and interactively processing visual analysis by a user based on:
• identifying selection, by the user, of an arbitrarily shaped region of the visual representation,
• clipping the selected region by zooming in to the selected region,
• identifying, in the clipped region, selection of data elements of interest to the user, and
• prompting the display module to automatically blur visual representations of data elements different from the data elements of interest by modifying the pixel attributes of respective pixels.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions to:

• access a plurality of data elements from a database;
• display, via an interactive graphical user interface, a visual representation of a plurality of data elements and respective data relations between the data elements, and wherein each data element is represented by pixel attributes of a pixel;
• and
• iteratively and interactively process visual analysis by a user, the instructions to iteratively and interactively process including instructions to:
• identify selection, by the user, of an arbitrarily shaped region of the visual representation,
• clip the selected region by zooming in to the selected region,
• identify, in the clipped region, selection of data elements of interest to the user, and
• automatically blur visual representations of data elements different from the data elements of interest by modifying the pixel attributes of respective pixels.
