Interactive interface for visualizing and manipulating multi-dimensional data

摘要

A software visualization tool consistent with the present invention integrates OLAP functionality with focuscontext based techniques for navigation through and inspection of large multidimensional datasets. Focuscontext based navigation techniques are used to increase the clarity and information content provided to the user. The visualization tool supports a number of operations of the data set, including: select-slice, aggregation, promote/demote, repeat-variables, and sort.
