Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to optimizing bar charts. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of data points, where each data point of the plurality of data points has a value. The method further includes determining a plurality of bars of the bar chart based on the plurality of data points, where each bar of the plurality of bars has a length and a width. The method further includes associating at least portions of a plurality of pixels used to render the bar chart with the plurality of bars. The method further includes determining for each pixel or pixel portion, at least one or more of a highest positive bar and/or a lowest negative bar. The method further includes rendering for individual pixels or pixel portions, one or more of the respective highest positive bar and/or the respective lowest negative bar.
Abstract:
A system and method for facilitating integrating enterprise data from multiple sources for display via in a common interface. An example method includes displaying, via a first user interface display screen, a first set of one or more personnel icons representative of one or more enterprise personnel, and providing a first user option to select one or more of the personnel icons. A second user interface display screen may be displayed in response to or after selection of one or more of the personnel icons. The second user interface display screen presents a first type of data. The second user interface display screen further provides a second user option to select one or more user interface features associated with the first type of data, and to then trigger display of a third user interface display screen. The third user interface display presents a second type of data that is associated with the first type of data.

Abstract:
A grid-based visualization displays icons representing data entities in grid cells corresponding with the data entities' attribute values. Grid cells organize icons according to first and second attribute values of their data entities. Dynamic grouping replaces icons with summary icons based on one or more additional attributes of their data entities. Each summary icon represents one or more icons having matching values of their additional attributes. Summary icons may include sizing and visual indicators of aggregate values of the icons they replace. Summary icons may replace icons within a single cell or multiple cells. Summary icons may be positioned based on the positions of the icons they replace. User interface controls for activating and controlling grouping may be integrated with a legend.
Abstract:
A system and method for facilitating preservation of context information during navigation of a visualization. An example method includes representing hierarchical data via an orbit visualization; providing a first user option to navigate to a child node selected from among the one or more child nodes of the orbit visualization; and updating the orbit visualization in response to user selection of the first user option, resulting in an updated orbit visualization, wherein the updated orbit visualization includes a parent node positioned at a periphery of the visualization, and wherein the selected child node is positioned as a new central node of the updated orbit visualization. A carousel control may be displayed concurrently with the orbit visualization, wherein the carousel control includes one or more user options to navigate to a previously navigated-to node of the orbit visualization.
Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to the generation of tile visualization for interactively displaying data on a user device. In some implementations, a method includes retrieving hierarchical data from a data storage system, including one or more first data items and one or more second data items descended from at least one of the first data items. The method further includes generating for display a main window including at least a portion of the hierarchical data. The method further includes enabling a user to select one or more of the first data items or the second data items. The method further includes generating for display a drawer window upon activation of a drawer function. The method further includes causing the selected data items to be displayed in the drawer window.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that, in various embodiments, improve chart performance by data filtering. In one aspect, the disclosed techniques allow all visible local maxima and minima to be rendered without having their values altered. In another aspect, the disclosed techniques filter data by skipping points evenly. In some embodiments, every horizontal pixel contains two points, so the line is visually uniform. This can dramatically enhance visualizations where data point intervals are uneven (e.g., having “mixed frequency”). Using a two point per pixel approach, the disclosed techniques ensure that a resulting simplified line looks almost identical to the original line by drawing at the limit of the screen resolution. The disclosed techniques allow for an algorithmic complexity of O(n), which is significantly faster than existing solutions.

Abstract:
A system and method for transitioning a displayed visualization from a first state to a second state. An example method includes displaying an orbit visualization characterized by a first state, wherein the orbit visualization includes a parent node and one or more child nodes positioned about a first orbit path that at least partially circumscribes the parent node; selectively initiating navigation of the orbit visualization; transitioning display of the parent node and one or more child nodes in accordance with the navigation by animating repositioning of the parent node and the one or more child nodes on a user interface display screen, such that a resulting node positioning characterizes the orbit visualization in the second state representative of a navigated-to location. The navigation may represent a downward or upward navigation of hierarchically related data, such that the animation illustrates separation of one or more petals from a selected node or movement toward the selected node, respectively.
Abstract:
Example embodiments reduce the processing required to zoom on graphical data visualizations by transforming only graphic elements visible in the zooming viewport. In one example embodiment, a grid overlays the component image. Prior to zooming, grid elements covered by the zooming viewport are determined and only graphic objects bounded by those grid elements are transformed during zooming.
