  • Managing data for rendering visualizations
    Patent number: 11068558
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program. The program receives from a first webview a first request for data for a first visualization in a plurality of visualizations specified in a visualization collection definition. The program further retrieves the data for the first visualization in the plurality of visualizations. The program also sends the first webview the data for the first visualization in order for the first webview to render the first visualization. The program further receives from a second webview a second request for data for a second visualization in the plurality of visualizations specified in the visualization collection definition. The program also retrieves the data for the second visualization in the plurality of visualizations using the background processing thread. The program further sends the second webview the data for the second visualization in order for the second webview to render the second visualization.

  • Rendering visualizations using parallel data retrieval
    Patent number: 10909206
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program. The program receives a visualization collection definition specifying a plurality of visualizations. The program further processes a first visualization in the plurality of visualization using a main processing thread. While processing the first visualization, the program also retrieves data for a second visualization in the plurality of visualizations from a computing system using a background processing thread. After the processing of the first visualization is completed, the program further processes the second visualization using the main processing thread.
