System and method for interactive grouping of pie chart slices

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored on the computer-readable medium, wherein the computer-executable instructions stored on the computer-readable medium cause a computer to execute and display a chart by causing at least a portion of a computer to perform steps, comprising:

• obtaining an indication that a grouping threshold has been modified, wherein the indication is obtained from a signal issued by an input device;
• in response to obtaining the indication that the grouping threshold has been modified while displaying the chart, automatically causing the computer to determine which of a plurality of elements have values below the modified grouping threshold;
• aggregating the plurality of elements that have values below the modified grouping threshold, while elements that have values above the grouping threshold are not aggregated;
• and
• displaying the chart with the elements below the grouping threshold having an aggregated portion of the chart while elements above the grouping threshold maintain respective unique portions of the chart.

A computer-implemented method for displaying elements of data in a chart, comprising:

• displaying the chart with each of the elements being represented by a unique portion of the chart;
• obtaining a modification to a grouping threshold, wherein the modification is obtained from a signal issued by an input device;
• in response to obtaining the modification while displaying the chart, automatically causing a computing device to aggregate elements that have values below the grouping threshold, while elements that have values above the grouping threshold are not aggregated;
• and
• displaying an aggregated chart having at least two elements below the grouping threshold sharing a portion of the chart while elements above the grouping threshold maintain respective unique portions of the chart.
