  • Patent number: 11797258
    Abstract: A method implements data visualization collaboration. The method displays, for a second user, an interface with a comment pane that displays a first comment text and a first thumbnail image of a data visualization generated according to a first visual specification, from a first user. In response to detecting an input from the second user to select the first thumbnail image, the method generates and displays the data visualization. The method receives, from the second user, input modifying the data visualization, and input specifying a second comment that refers to the data visualization.

  • Patent number: 11797166
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reporting printhead conditions. One embodiment is a system that includes a user interface, a display, and a controller configured to present a Graphical User Interface (GUI) via the display. The GUI includes a first area depicting an array of printheads. Each printhead of the array is represented by a first visual indicator that signifies a frequency of printhead conditions detected at that printhead over a period of time. In response to receiving a selection of at least one of the printheads via the user interface, the controller presents a second area of the GUI via the display. The second area depicts locations of printhead conditions detected at the selection over the period of time. Each of the locations is represented by a second visual indicator that signifies a frequency of printhead conditions detected at that location over the period of time.
