Graphical user interface component to transpose a histogram

A system for representing a histogram of values recorded during time units in a time period, the histogram having a plurality of bins, each bin corresponding to a time unit, and having a height proportional to a count of the values recorded during that time unit, the system comprising:

• a processor-based system executed on a computer system and configured to:
• divide the time period into a plurality of time segments, each time segment thereby being associated with a respective subset of the plurality of bins;
• and
• display, on a computer screen, a first graph comprising:
• drawing an expanding spiral according to a golden ratio spiral;
• defining a plurality of quarter circles using the expanding spiral, each quarter circle having an edge formed by a portion of the expanding spiral, and a center;
• drawing, within a quarter circle, a plurality of sectors about the center, wherein the quarter circle represents a time segment, and the plurality of sectors within the quarter circle represent a plurality of bins associated with the time segment and thereby time units in the time segment;
• and
• repeating the drawing a plurality of sectors for a next quarter circle representing a next time segment for at least some of the remaining time segments.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code adapted to be executed by one or more processors to implement a method comprising:

• dividing the time period into a plurality of time segments, each time segment thereby being associated with a respective subset of the plurality of bins;
• and
• displaying, on a computer screen, a first graph comprising:
• drawing an expanding spiral according to a golden ratio spiral;
• defining a plurality of quarter circles using the expanding spiral, each quarter circle having an edge formed by a portion of the expanding spiral, and a center;
• drawing, within a quarter circle, a plurality of sectors about the center, wherein the quarter circle represents a time segment, and the plurality of sectors within the quarter circle represent a plurality of bins associated with the time segment and thereby time units in the time segment;
• and
• repeating the drawing a plurality of sectors for a next quarter circle representing a next time segment for at least some of the remaining time segments.
