Single axis zoom

摘要

A graphical representation of data may be displayed along with a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. A user may define a region in the graphical representation using a zoom tool. If the defined region intersects with either of the horizontal or vertical axes, a single axis zoom may be performed according to the defined region rather than a conventional zoom. A single axis zoom may include maintaining the domain of either the horizontal or vertical axes, while zooming in at the intersected axis of the defined region.

主权项

1. A method for displaying data, comprising:
displaying a first graphical representation of data by a display component of a computing device, wherein the first graphical representation has a first domain and a first range; receiving an indication of a selection at a user interface component of the computing device, the indication of a selection defining a region within the first graphical representation, wherein the region has a second domain and a second range; determining whether to implement either a horizontal single axis zoom or a vertical single axis zoom based on a received indication to implement, wherein the indication to implement comprises one or more of a keystroke, a gesture, or a voice input; indicating that either the horizontal single axis zoom or the vertical single axis zoom is selected by replacing a first graphical representation of a user interface element associated with the defined region by displaying a second graphical representation of the user interface element that indicates which of the horizontal single axis zoom or the vertical single axis zoom is selected; and implementing the horizontal single axis zoom or the vertical single axis zoom on the graphical representation of the data.
