2D line data cursor

摘要

Various arrangements for displaying a value of a data point on a graph are presented. The graph that illustrates a plurality of datasets may be presented. Input may be received from a user that indicates a point on the graph. Along a line parallel to an axis that extends through the point on the graph indicated by the user input, a dataset from the plurality of datasets may be identified. The value for the data point of the dataset that corresponds to an intersection of the line parallel to the axis and the visual representation of the dataset may be determined. The value for the data point may be displayed.

1. A computer-implemented method for displaying a value of a data point on a graph, comprising:
displaying, by a touchscreen computerized device, the graph that illustrates a plurality of datasets, wherein:
each of the plurality of datasets is visually represented on the graph; receiving a single user input of a point on the graph by a user touching one location on the touchscreen computerized device, wherein the user does not select a particular dataset from the plurality of datasets; identifying, by the touchscreen computerized device, along a line parallel to an axis of the graph, a single closest dataset from the plurality of datasets, the single closest dataset corresponding to a graphical representation closest to the point along the line parallel to the axis of the graph as compared to graphical representations that correspond to other datasets of the plurality of datasets, wherein:
the line passes through the point on the graph indicated by the user input; retrieving, by the touchscreen computerized device, the value for the data point of the dataset that corresponds to an intersection of the line parallel to a y-axis and the graphical representation of the dataset; displaying, by the touchscreen computerized device, the value for the data point corresponding to the single closest dataset identified as closest to the point along the line parallel to the axis of the graph; displaying, by the touchscreen computerized device, a visual indication of the point on the graph indicated by the user input; detecting, by the touchscreen computerized device, a swipe gesture performed by the user on the touchscreen computerized device; and in response to detecting the swipe gesture, displaying, by the touchscreen computerized device, a second value for a second data point wherein the second data point is selected based on a direction of the swipe gesture and is a closest data point to the data point based on the direction of the swipe gesture, wherein the value for the data point is not presented when the second value for the second data point is presented, wherein retrieving the value for the data point of the dataset that corresponds to the intersection of the line parallel to the axis of the graph and the graphical representation of the dataset comprises: identifying the data point of the dataset closest to the intersection.
