DISPLAYING VISUAL ANALYTICS OF ENTITY DATA

摘要

According to an example, in a method for displaying visual analytics of entity data, geographic locations of entities may be plotted as first pixel cells on a first region and as second pixel cells on a second region of a geographic map. A determination may be made that the first pixel cells have a higher degree of overlap with each other in the first region compared to the second pixel cells in the second region. The geographic map may be distorted to enlarge the first region and the first pixel cells may be arranged in the first region in a manner that prevents the first pixel cells from overlapping each other. A color value for each of the pixel cells may be determined from a multi-paired color map that represents two variables corresponding to the entities by color and the pixel cells may be caused to be displayed on the distorted geographic map according to the determined respective color values.

1. A method for displaying visual analytics of entity data, said method comprising:
plotting geographic locations of a plurality of entities as first pixel cells on a first region and as second pixel cells on a second region of a geographic map; determining that the first pixel cells have a higher degree of overlap with each other in the first region compared to the second pixel cells in the second region; distorting the geographic map to enlarge the first region; arranging the first pixel cells in the first region in a manner that prevents the first pixel cells from overlapping each other; determining a color value for each of the first pixel cells and the second pixel cells from a multi-paired color map that represents two variables corresponding to the plurality of entities by color; and cause, by a processor, the first pixel cells and the second pixel cells to be displayed on the distorted geographic map according to the determined respective color values.
