<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To graphically display data and to enable a user to perform an interactive search. <P>SOLUTION: A system is provided with a visual Data Pane 160, that is used by an operator to provide a focus + context view into data. Each data item is initially displayed as a small object or region on the operator's screen. In response to an operator command, the source data value and data type of a source data item in an array is obtained and indirectly displayed in a Data Pane image. During a focusing operation, the area of interest within the constraints of a Data Pane window is expanded, and related or more detailed data is presented to the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
