Abstract: Embodiments include a method for navigating an electronic document. The method includes displaying a navigation pane that includes a group of logical document elements associated with the electronic document. The method also includes detecting a first user input. The method further includes determining that the first user input is configured to select a first logical document element included in the group of logical document elements. The method also includes selecting the first logical document element based on the first user input. The method further includes navigating to a portion of the document associated with the first logical document element. Embodiments also include a system and a computer-readable medium for navigating an electronic document.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention sets forth a data navigation engine that generates user interface navigation elements for navigation large and expanding datasets. The user interface navigation elements may include a pivot control zoom slider for adjusting the data resolution with respect to different zoom pivot locations, an interactive ruler for consistent visual feedback and navigation of intervals of data within the dataset, a context bar for viewing the data proximate to a current view, and a multi-scale slider for repositioning the dataset within the current view. These user interface navigation elements provide the end-user with consistent control and visual feedback while navigating the dataset, independent of the size of the dataset or the portion of the dataset displayed within the current view. Therefore, large and expanding datasets can be navigated more effectively relative to prior art approaches.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a banded slider application obtains values from users via a banded slider. In operation, the banded slider application generates a banded slider that includes multiple sections. Notably, the interior of a section included in the banded slider is visually distinguishable from an interior of another section that is adjacent to the section. Subsequently, the banded slider application performs operation(s) to display the banded slider and, in response, receives a user selection of a location along the banded slider. The banded slider application then computes a specified value based on the location. Advantageously, empirical evidence shows that the banded slider enables precise and/or repeatable specification of values without inducing bias associated with an inherent propensity for users to select locations that are at or near the decorations (e.g., tick marks) along conventional sliders.

Abstract: A design application is configured to visualize and explore large-scale generative design datasets. The design explorer includes a graphical user interface (GUI) engine that generates a design explorer, a composite explorer, and a tradeoff explorer. The design explorer displays a visualization of a multitude of design options included in a design space. The design explorer allows a user to filter the design space based on input parameters that influence a generative design process as well as various design characteristics associated with the different design options. The composite explorer displays a fully interactive composite of multiple different design options. The composite explorer exposes various tools that allow the user to filter the design space via interactions with the composite. The tradeoff explorer displays a tradeoff space based on different rankings of design options. The different rankings potentially correspond to competing design characteristics specified by different designers.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a ranking application automatically ranks designs included in a design space based on user preference(s). The ranking application determines that a first design included in the design space is a first positive example of user preference(s). The ranking application then computes a score associated with a second design that is also included in the design space based on a first attribute value and a second attribute value. The first attribute value is associated with both the first design and an attribute and the second value is associated with both the second design and the attribute. Subsequently, the ranking application orders the designs based on the first score and a second score associated with the second design to generate a ranked list of designs. The ranking application then displays the ranked list of designs via a graphical user interface to facilitate exploration of the design space.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present application sets forth a method for playback of a sense-making operation. The method includes receiving first session data that includes a set of timeline steps. Each timeline step included in the set of timeline steps corresponds to a user action performed on a data set. The method further includes receiving a playback command to display a first sequence of timeline steps included in the set of timeline steps. The method further includes rendering a first graph for display based on at least one timeline step included in the first sequence of timeline steps.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a visualization engine generates graphs that facilitate sense making operations on data sets. A graph includes nodes that are associated with a data set and edges that represent relationships between the nodes. In operation, the visualization engine computes pairwise similarities between the nodes. Subsequently, the visualization engine computes a layout for the graph based on the pairwise similarities and user-specified constraints. Finally, the visualization engine renders a graph for display based on the layout, the nodes, and the edges. Advantageously, by interactively specifying constraints and then inspecting the topology of the automatically generated graph, the user may efficiently explore salient aspects of the data set.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manipulating graphics objects within a display viewed by an end-user is disclosed. The method involves: receiving motion information generated in response to the end-user moving an object that is external to the display; determining at least one zone of motion in which the end-user moves the object; determining a first motion type associated with the movement of the object within the at least one zone of motion; and based on the at least one zone of motion and the first motion type, determining at least one change to a viewpoint associated with one or more graphics objects displayed to the end-user within the display. The at least one change to the viewpoint causes an alteration in how the one or more graphics objects are displayed to the end-user within the display.
