Data binding graph for interactive chart

A method, implemented at a computer system that includes one or more processors, for visualizing data based on a graph, the method comprising:

• accessing, by the one or more processors, a graph that defines a flow of data, the graph comprising a data source node that defines source data and one or more derived data nodes that are downstream from the data source node in the graph, each derived data node being configured to receive data from at least one upstream node in the graph, and to perform at least one modification operation on the data received from the at least one upstream node;
• binding, by the one or more processors, a first visualization node to the data source node, the first visualization node being configured to produce a first visualization of the source data as defined by the data source node, the first visualization node binding at least one first visualization user interface element to at least one portion of the source data;
• binding, by the one or more processors, a second visualization node to a particular derived data node of the one or more derived data nodes, the second visualization node being configured to produce a second visualization of the source data as defined by the data source node, and as modified by the particular derived data node, the second visualization node binding at least one second visualization user interface element to the at least one portion of the source data, as modified by the particular derived data node;
• displaying the first and second visualizations, including displaying the at least one first visualization user interface element within the first visualization according to the at least one portion of the source data, and displaying the at least one second visualization user interface element within the second visualization according to the at least one portion of the source data, as modified by the particular derived data node;
• and
• modifying the second visualization based on user input at the first visualization, including:
• receiving the user input at the at least one first visualization user interface element;
• propagating, by the one or more processors, the user input from the data source node through the graph to the particular derived data node;
• and
• modifying the at least one second visualization user interface element at the second visualization user interface to reflect the user input.

A computer program product comprising one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a computer system to configure the computer system to visualize data based on a graph, the computer-executable instructions including instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to perform at least the following:

• access a graph that defines a flow of data, the graph comprising a data source node that defines source data and one or more derived data nodes that are downstream from the data source node in the graph, each derived data node being configured to receive data from at least one upstream node in the graph, and to perform at least one modification operation on the data received from the at least one upstream node;
• bind a first visualization node to the data source node, the first visualization node being configured to produce a first visualization of the source data as defined by the data source node, the first visualization node binding at least one first visualization user interface element to at least one portion of the source data;
• bind a second visualization node to a particular derived data node of the one or more derived data nodes, the second visualization node being configured to produce a second visualization of the source data as defined by the data source node, and as modified by the particular derived data node, the second visualization node binding at least one second visualization user interface element to the at least one portion of the source data, as modified by the particular derived data node;
• display the first and second visualizations, including displaying the at least one first visualization user interface element within the first visualization according to the at least one portion of the source data, and displaying the at least one second visualization user interface element within the second visualization according to the at least one portion of the source data, as modified by the particular derived data node;
• and
• modify the second visualization based on user input at the first visualization, including:
• receiving the user input at the at least one first visualization user interface element;
• propagating the user input from the data source node through the graph to the particular derived data node;
• and
• modifying the at least one second visualization user interface element at the second visualization user interface to reflect the user input.
