Abstract:

A computer system displays a graphical user interface that includes a data visualization region, a shelf region, and a schema information region. The computer system receives a first user input to place a first dimension data field from the schema information region into the shelf region. In accordance with the first user input, the computer system determines a visualization level of detail that is based on at least the first dimension data field. The computer system receives a second user input to specify a first aggregation. The first aggregation has a custom level of detail that is distinct from the visualization level of detail. The computer system builds a visual specification that includes the visualization and custom levels of detail. The computer system generates a data visualization corresponding to the visual specification and displays the data visualization in the data visualization region.

Abstract:

A method displays a chart that includes visual marks representing a data set, displayed according to contents of displayed shelf regions, which determine characteristics of the chart. The method detects selection of a plurality of visual marks, and visually emphasizes the selected plurality of visual marks. The method also detects a first input on the selected marks, and displays a moveable icon corresponding to the selected visual marks while maintaining display of the visual marks. The method detects a second input on the moveable icon, and moves the moveable icon over a first shelf region. Upon ceasing to detect the input, the method updates the content of the first shelf region based on the selected visual marks, and updates the chart in accordance with updated content of the first shelf region, including applying the characteristic of the first shelf to the selected visual marks distinct from the unselected visual marks.

Abstract:

The various embodiments described herein include methods and devices for interactive data visualization. In one aspect, a method is performed at a device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display. The method includes displaying a first chart with one or more visual marks corresponding to a first dimension and a first measure. The method further includes determining whether a detected touch input is in a first region corresponding to the first dimension or in a second region corresponding to the first measure. If the touch input is in the first region, the method displays a plurality of dimension options, and, in response to selection of a respective dimension option, adds a second dimension through an animated transition to display a second chart. At least one visual mark in the first chart is split into a plurality of visual marks in the second chart through the animated transition.

Abstract:

A method is performed at an electronic device. The method displays a chart including a plurality of data marks. The method detects a first touch input that corresponds to a location on the display of a first predefined area in the chart, the first predefined area having a corresponding first value. In response to detecting the first touch input, the method selects and visually distinguishes the first predefined area. While the first predefined area is selected, the method detects a second touch input on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the second touch input: the method visually distinguishes a sequence of predefined areas in the chart, where the sequence of predefined areas is adjacent to the first predefined area; and the method displays a change between the first value for the first predefined area and a value for a last predefined area in the sequence of predefined areas.

Abstract:

A user selects a dataset and a first interaction profile. There are multiple interaction profiles, each specifying a corresponding user interface and a corresponding decision tree for forming data visualizations according to user-selected data fields. A first data visualization user interface is displayed corresponding to the first interaction profile. Using the first data visualization user interface, the user selects data fields from the dataset and uses them to specify data visualization characteristics. The method displays a first data visualization according to the user-selected data fields and the decision tree for the first interaction profile. When the user selects a second interaction profile, the method displays a second data visualization according to the second interaction profile. The second data visualization uses at least some of the user-selected data fields. The second data visualization is displayed according to the specified data visualization characteristics and the decision tree for the second interaction profile.

G06F 3/0482

Abstract:

A method displays a chart including visual marks representing a dataset. The chart is displayed according to contents of multiple shelf regions. The shelf regions determine characteristics of the chart. The method generates a visual analytic object by applying an analytic operation to the set of data represented by the visual marks, and displays the visual analytic object superimposed over the chart. The method detects user input to select the displayed visual analytic object and place an icon representing the visual analytic object onto a first shelf region. In response, the method updates the content of the first shelf region to associate it with the analytic operation corresponding to the visual analytic object and updates the chart according to the updated content of the first shelf region. This includes updating the chart based on values of the dataset represented by the visual marks relative to the analytic operation.

Abstract:

A method is performed at an electronic device. The process displays a line chart, which includes a first plurality of data marks and a first plurality of line segments connecting adjacent data marks. The process detects a touch input, and expands the line chart horizontally, including expanding a first line segment. The process adds a second plurality of data marks on the first line segment, thereby subdividing the first line segment into a second plurality of line segments, which are initially collinear. After expanding the chart and adding the second plurality of marks, the process determines an ordinate value for each of the second plurality of marks, and animatedly moves each of the second plurality of marks from the first line segment to a respective vertical location defined by the respective determined ordinate value. The process concurrently moves each of the second plurality of line segments according to its endpoints.

Abstract:

A user selects a dataset and a first interaction profile. The first interaction profile is one of: category world, time world, or geography world. The first interaction profile corresponds to a first data visualization user interface. Without further user interaction, a method selects multiple fields in the dataset according to the first interaction profile and displays a first data visualization according to the first interaction profile. The first data visualization includes visual marks based on the selected fields. The user specifies some data visualization characteristics, and the method updates the first data visualization according to these characteristics. The user selects a second interaction profile. In response, the method displays a second data visualization user interface corresponding to the second interaction profile, and displays a second data visualization using at least a subset of the multiple fields, where the second data visualization is displayed according to the user-specified characteristics.
