Abstract: Systems and methods for automated rule-based labeling of space constrained small format visual analytics are disclosed. A label engine receives visual analytic data and metadata. Using default or specific rules, the label engine analyzes the metadata to determine a number of measures and dimensions of the visual analytic data. The label engine then analyzes the measures, dimensions, and other metadata according to the rules to generate a set of labels, and a set of locations within the visual analytic into which to insert the set of labels. Placement of the labels can be based on the size and format of the visual analytic. In addition, the placement of the labels can be based on a dashboard framework in which the visual analytic is disposed. Any labels that are redundant with the information in the context of the dashboard framework can be omitted from visual analytic.

Abstract: Systems, methods and program storage devices are disclosed, which comprise instructions to cause one or more processing units to analyze input images to a texture atlas and determine how each texture should be modified before being stored in the texture atlas to prevent undesirable drawing artifacts. For example, “tileable” images may be identified on a per-edge basis (e.g., by determining whether each edge pixel is above a certain opacity threshold). The tileable images may then be modified, e.g., by extruding a 1-pixel border identical to the outer row of pixels, before being stored in the texture atlas. “Character”-type sprites may also be identified on a per-edge basis (e.g., by determining whether each edge pixel is below the opacity threshold). The character-type sprites may then by modified by adding a single pixel transparent border around the outer rows of pixels before being stored in the texture atlas.
