<p>An apparatus and method are described for performing branch, processing according to a user indicated selection (Fig. 12) from displayed graphics[1206]. A chart engine[204] in a workflow receives a data file having a header[601] followed by data. The header[601] includes parameters[701] and branch processing infoπnation[702]. The chart engine[204] generates graphics data from the received data according to the parameters[701] information, and an output engine[205] stores the graphics data in a da file along with the original header[601] information. The graphics data is readable by a viewer that displays graphics generate from the graphics data on a computer display. When the user indicates a selection from the displayed graphics[1206], the view detects the user indicated selection, reads the branch processing infoπnation[702] from the header[601] of the data file, and performs branch pτocessing[702] according to the user indicated selection.</p> |
