摘要

A method and system for producing graphics. A hierarchical structure of a database (548) is determined. A visual table (550), comprising a plurality of panes (557), is constructed by providing a specification that is in a language based on the hierarchical structure of the database. In some cases, this language can include fields that are in the database schema (560). The database is queried to retrieve a set of tuples in accordance with the specification. A subset of the set of tuples is associated with a pane in the plurality of panes.
