摘要:
A process builds a view of a dataset. The process displays a graphical user interface window, including: a schema display region; a visualization region; and a shelf region that includes multiple shelves. The process detects user input to place a data field icon from the schema display region into the visualization region. Upon ceasing to detect the user input, the process associates the data field icon with a first shelf according to its data type and data types corresponding to other data field icons, if any, previously associated with the shelves, and then places the first data field icon within the first shelf. The method further includes determining a view type based on the data field icon and the association of the data field icon with the first shelf, and generating a graphical representation in the visualization region in accordance with the determined view type.

A method displays a chart including visual marks representing a dataset. The chart is based on content of displayed shelf regions, each determining a respective characteristic of the visual marks. The method generates a visual analytic object by applying a first analytic operation to the dataset, and displays the visual analytic object 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. The first shelf region defines a first characteristic of the visual marks. In response to the user input, the method updates content of the first shelf region to specify association with the first analytic operation and updates the first characteristic of the visual marks in the chart based on values of the set of data represented by the visual marks relative to values computed by the first analytic operation.

A user interacts with a graphical user interface on a client device. The device displays a data visualization that includes configuration parameters. The device also displays one or more read-only static controls, each static control corresponding to a respective parameter. Each static control indicates the value assigned to the corresponding parameter. A first user action activates a first static control. The first static control corresponds to a first parameter with a first value. The device displays an editable indirect control in the graphical user interface, which displays the first value. The editable indirect control is larger than the first static control, and is superimposed over the corresponding static control. The user changes the first value to a second value, and the device updates the displayed data visualization based on the second value for the first parameter. The editable indirect control is subsequently removed from display in the graphical user interface.

A method executes at an electronic device with a display, concurrently displaying a chart that displays visual marks representing a set of data and a plurality of analytic icons. The method detects a first portion of an input on a first analytic icon, and in response displays one or more option icons that correspond to options for performing a first analytical operation that corresponds to the first analytic icon. The method also detects a second portion of the input on the first analytic icon and in response moves the first analytic icon over a respective option icon such that the first analytic icon is over the respective option icon immediately prior to ceasing to detect the input. In addition, the method adds one or more graphics to the chart that correspond to the first analytical operation and a respective option that corresponds to the respective option icon.
摘要:
An electronic device displays a chart, which includes visual marks that represent calculated values derived from a set of data, and panes formed by intersection of rows and columns. A current focus is on a first visual mark at a first position. The device concurrently displays a chart-calculations-options area, which includes display options for a type of calculation and a type of data partitioning. Visual marks in a first set of visual marks are visually distinguished from other visual marks. The first set of visual marks includes the first visual mark, and corresponds to a first selected option for a type of calculation and a first selected option for a type of data partitioning. The device detects an input that selects a second option for a type of data partitioning, and, in response, visually distinguishes visual marks in a second set of visual marks in accordance with the selection.

摘要:
The implementations described herein include methods and systems for ranking data visualizations. A method is performed at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing programs for execution by the processors. The method receives user selection of a set of data fields and identifies data visualizations that use each data field in the user-selected set. The method automatically forms modified sets of data fields that each differ from the user-selected set by at most two atomic operations, each selected from: removing or adding a data field; replacing a user-selected data field with a hierarchically narrower or broader data field; or adding, removing, or modifying a filter for a data field. The method identifies alternative data visualizations using each respective modified set, computes a score for each data visualization and alternative data visualization, and presents high scoring data visualizations and high scoring alternative data visualizations to the user.

A method displays a user interface for a graphical view application. The user interface includes a plurality of shelves for specifying characteristics of a dataset. The method includes receiving user actions to associate first, second, and third fields of the dataset with first, second, and third shelves of the plurality of shelves, respectively. The method further includes, in response to receiving the user actions, displaying graphical views in the user interface in accordance with the first, second, and third fields, wherein (i) each of the graphical views corresponds to a respective distinct value of the third field; and (ii) each of the graphical views includes a set of graphical marks, each graphical mark (a) having a respective color that corresponds to a respective data value associated with the first field and (b) having a respective size that corresponds to a respective data value associated with the second field.
摘要:
The implementations described herein include methods and systems for displaying graphical representations of datasets. A method is performed at a computer having one or more processors and memory storing programs for execution by the processors. The method receives a request from a user to display a graphical representation of a dataset. In response to the request, the method identifies a plurality of alternative graphical representations of the dataset. Each alternative graphical representation has a respective associated view type. The method ranks the plurality of alternative graphical representations in accordance with a rating system. The rating system is based on a set of criteria, which includes at least one user-specific criterion. The method selects for display a resulting graphical representation from among the plurality of alternative graphical representations based on the ranking.
摘要:
A method displays a graphical user interface for a data visualization application. The user interface includes shelves for specifying data visualization characteristics for a dataset. The method selects a map view based on geographic location field name(s) placed onto the shelves, and displays a geographic map. A user selects a visual encoding by placing a first field name onto a first shelf, which specifies a visual property of displayed marks. The property for each mark is determined by values of the first field in records of the result set. A mark displays for each record in the result set. When the first shelf specifies color of marks, each displayed mark fills the respective geographic region with a color based on the value of the first field. When the first shelf specifies size of marks, point marks are displayed with a respective size corresponding to the value of the first field.
