GENERATING GRAPHICAL DEPICTIONS OF DATA SETS BASED ON MAPPING PATHS OF GRAPHICAL OBJECTS TO DATA PROPERTIES

摘要

Certain embodiments involve generating graphical depictions of data sets based on mapping paths of graphical objects to data properties. In one example, a graphics editing application displays a graphical interface for mapping a vector-based graphic to a data set. The vector-based graphic includes graphical objects defined by connected paths. The graphical interface receives input specifying modifications to visual properties of different graphical objects. For graphical objects mapped to data properties in the data set, the graphics editing application applies constraints to visual property modifications, where the constraints are based on mappings to the data properties in the data set. For graphical objects without mappings to data properties, the graphics editing application applies visual property modifications without these constraints. The graphics editing application updates the graphical interface to include modified versions of the vector-based graphic, with the graphical objects having mappings being modified in accordance with the applied constraints.
