Data plot processing

A computer program product for processing a data plot comprising a plurality of data points for inclusion of additional information content, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:

• dividing a space of a data plot into subspaces, wherein each subspace contains at least one data point of the data plot;
• computing a compressed information representation for each subspace of the data plot based on information about said at least one data point contained in said each subspace;
• and
• displaying the data plot with the compressed information representation for said each subspace, wherein each unit of compressed information is displayed, on a display, adjacent to a corresponding group of data points from the data plot.

A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, and one or more computer readable non-transitory storage mediums, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable non-transitory storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer readable memories, the stored program instructions executed to perform a method comprising:

• dividing a space of a data plot into subspaces, wherein each subspace contains at least one data point of the data plot;
• computing a compressed information representation for each subspace of the data plot based on information about said at least one data point contained in said each subspace;
• and
• displaying the data plot with the compressed information representation for said each subspace, wherein each unit of compressed information is displayed, on a display, adjacent to a corresponding group of data points from the data plot.
