DATA FITTING SELECTED VISUALIZATION TYPE

摘要

A mechanism to visualize data to a user in a sufficient manner. The user selects a visualization type to visualize a selected subset of a data model. To fit the data well into a visualization of that visualization type, the system then evaluates the user selections of the visualization type of the subset of data against the rule set. Based on the evaluation, the system determines that the subset of data does not populate or insufficiently populates the visualization type. In some embodiments, the system further recommends additional data to supplement the selected subset of data to more sufficiently utilize the visualization to display the subset of data in conjunction with the supplemented data. The system may further display the visualization based on the selected subset of the data model perhaps before and/or after supplemented with the supplemented data.

1. A method comprising:
an act of accessing a user selection of a visualization type; an act of accessing a user selection of a subset of data from a data model; an act of evaluating the user selections of the visualization type and the subset of data against a rule set that defines sufficiency of data for the selected visualization type; and based on the evaluation, an act of determining that the subset of data does not populate or insufficiently populates the visualization type.
