Abstract: Systems and methods provide several enhancements for the viewing, analysis, and generation of landscape views in a data analysis system, including: allowing a user to select from multiple methods to generate a landscape view, providing labels for peaks of a landscape, enabling the user to replace labels displayed on the landscape view, enabling a landscape view to be recalculated based on the replacement labels, and allowing a user to switch or morph between two landscape views generated by different methods. Such methods or systems generate graphical landscape map visualizations from a set of data records.
