摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed that, in various embodiments, improve chart performance by allowing users to interactively split and unsplit charts with dual-Y axis using dragging gestures or a button.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a computer, a first data set; receiving, at the computer, a second data set; determining, by the computer, a first chart layout for the first data set and the second data set, the first chart layout having a plot area with a shared X-axis and a dual-Y axis; receiving, by the computer, a gesture performed by a user with respect to a chart having the first chart layout; determining, by the computer, a source of the gesture with respect to the chart as a first Y-axis or a second Y-axis in the dual-Y axis; determining, by the computer, a target of the gesture with respect to the chart as an area on a first side or second side of the plot area of the first chart layout; determining, by the computer, a second chart layout for the first data set and the second data set based on the source and target of the gesture, wherein when the target of the gesture is determined as the area on the first side of the plot area of the first chart layout, the second chart layout is determined as a split unipolar chart with both the first data set and the second data set growing in a same direction, and when the target of the gesture is determined as the area of the second side of the plot area of the first chart layout, the second chart layout is determined as a split bipolar chart with the first data set and the second data set growing in different directions; and rendering, by the computer, the chart with the second chart layout.
