Method and system for creating visual displays of data from an input data set.

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method and a means for creating visual displays in a visual display device (42) of data from an input data set (22). First, at least one of a plurality of stored sources (16, 18, 20, 34) of resource information is selected. Each of these sources is defined by and under the control of signals stored in a plurality of page definition files (32). These page definition files are stored separately from the input data set and the sources of resource information. Visual-presentation control signals are embedded into this input data set to generate an output data set (30). This selected resource information and the output data set are then stored in a local memory (41) for enabling the desired visual displays.
