VECTOR GRAPH GRAPHICAL OBJECT

摘要

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for increasing the amount of information conveyed per graphical object in graphical presentations of data. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions, that when executed, cause a computing device to determine a major range of values occurring during a major period, the major period including a shorter minor period; and generate a vector graph including a graphical object and an axis indicating a scale. The graphical object may include a major period line parallel to the axis and indicating the major range; and a minor period arrow overlying and pointing in a direction parallel to the length of the major period line, the point and base of the minor period arrow overlying the major period line at locations indicating values at an end and at a start, respectively, of the minor period. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
determine a major range of values occurring during a major period, wherein the major period comprises a minor period of shorter duration than the major period; and generate, by circuitry for visual presentation on a display, a vector graph comprising a graphical object and an axis indicating a scale of values comprising the major range, wherein the graphical object comprises:
a major period line that is parallel to the axis, wherein a length of the major period line indicates the major range of values; anda minor period arrow overlying the major period line and pointing in a direction parallel to the length of the major period line, wherein a point of the minor period arrow overlies the major period line at a first location that indicates a value at an end of the minor period, and a base of the minor period arrow overlies the major period line at a second location that indicates a value at a start of the minor period.
