Dynamic generation of images to facilitate information visualization

摘要

Approaches for generating a digital image that facilitates data analysis. An application may arrange values of one or more data sets into a table based on a selected set of columns. The application may apply one or more formulas to each cell to generate a second table that has a single value in each cell. The application maps, for each cell of the second table, the value stored therein to an attribute (such as a color). The application may generate a digital image by determining a color for each pixel of the digital image based on how the cells are mapped to colors. The digital image enables data analysis, such as the identification of trends, patterns, and/or anomalies, on any number of data sets in an expeditious and intuitive manner. The digital image may be dynamically updated to reflect further analysis or incremental updates to the data sets.
