Abstract

The invention provides interactive adjustment of plot and data visualization through clicks, rollovers, menus, and other familiar types of rapid user-machine interaction. In an implementation, such interactive adjustments also modify associated software code used to generate the underlying plot or data visualization. In some implementations this feature may be always active. In other embodiments, this feature can be enabled, disabled, overridden, precluded, etc. The invention supports simple mice and their equivalents, advanced mice, gesture-based touch interfaces advanced High-Dimensional Touch Pads and associated touch screens, game controllers, 6D-mice, and extended hyperlink objects. The invention can be implemented in the context of web browsers and spreadsheets, and can be used for Business intelligence, simple plots, and a wide range of data visualization applications. The invention also provides related features to more general programming languages not involved in plots or visualization, allowing programmers on software code and invoke various options via interactive GUIs.
