Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for use in a data visualization system having a data model. The data model contains data observations. A first view and a second view are used to display at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model. Conditional data that is associated with the second view specifies how the second view's display is modified based upon a selection of a data observation within the first view.
Claims61
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data display system having a data model, wherein the data model contains data observations, comprising:
- a first view and a second view for concurrently displaying at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model;
- wherein the first view is associated with first conditional data;
- wherein the first view's conditional data is for use in determining whether or not the first view's display is modified based upon a selection of a data observation within the second view, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for a subset of the data observations of the first view.
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data visualization system, comprising:
- a data model containing data observations;
- a first view, second view, and a third view that display at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model;
- first conditional data that has an association with the first view;
- second conditional data that has an association with the second view;
- wherein the conditional data associated with the first view determines how data selected in the third view is to be displayed within the first view;
- wherein the conditional data associated with the second view determines how data selected in the third view is to be displayed within the second view;
- wherein the first view displays different selected data than the second view because of the first view's conditional data.
A computer-implemented method for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising the steps of:
- associating first conditional data with a first view, wherein the first conditional data includes a logical function;
- receiving data related to a selection of data in a second view;
- receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- applying the logical function to the data selected in the second and third views to determine how to modify the first view's display, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for a subset of the data observations with respect to the display of the first view;
- said first, second and third views configured for concurrently displaying information.
A computer-implemented method for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising the steps of:
- associating first conditional data with a first view;
- associating second conditional data with a second view;
- receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- determining based upon the second view s conditional data that all of the selected data is to be displayed in the second view;
- and
- determining based upon the second view's conditional data that a subset of the selected data is to be displayed in the second view, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for the subset in the second view;
- said first, second and third views concurrently displaying information.
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising:
- means for associating first conditional data with a first view, wherein the first conditional data includes a logical function;
- means for receiving data related to a selection of data in a second view;
- means for receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- means for applying the logical function to the data selected in the second and third views to determine how to modify the first view's display, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for a subset of the data observations with respect to the display of the first view;
- said first, second and third views concurrently displaying information.
A computer-implemented apparatus for use in a data visualization system having a linked-view architecture, comprising:
- means for associating first conditional data with a first view;
- means for associating second conditional data with a second view;
- means for receiving data related to a selection of data in a third view;
- means for determining based upon the second view's conditional data that all of the selected data is to be displayed in the second view;
- and
- means for determining based upon the second view's conditional data that a subset of the selected data is to be displayed in the second view, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for the subset in the second view;
- said first, second and third views concurrently displaying information.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method, wherein the instructions are for use in a data display system having a data model, wherein the data model contains data observations, said method comprising:
- displaying within a first view and a second view at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model;
- wherein the first view is associated with first conditional data;
- using the first view's conditional data to determine whether or not the first view's display is modified based upon a selection of a data observation within the second view, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for a subset of the data observations of the first view;
- said first and second views concurrently displaying information such that the display having the selected data observation within the second view and the display of the first view are concurrently displayed.
A computer-implemented method for use in a data display system having a data model, wherein the data model contains data observations, comprising:
- displaying within a first view and a second view at least a portion of the data observations contained in the data model;
- wherein the first view is associated with first conditional data;
- using the first view's conditional data to determine whether or not the first view's display is modified based upon a selection of a data observation within the second view, thereby determining whether to alter a display characteristic for a subset of the data observations of the first view;
- said first and second views concurrently displaying information such that the display having the selected data observation within the second view and the display of the first view are concurrently displayed.
