Patent number: 10810159Abstract: The modular updating of visualizations is provided. Elements of a visualization (e.g., graphical representations of data series, axes, titles, etc.) are only updated within the visualization when the hierarchical data defining that element is changed, thus reducing the processing load on the system providing the visualization. According to an aspect, the changes in the data are accurately translated from an arbitrary hierarchy format into a normalized hierarchy format so that a data visualization platform modularly update the hierarchical data that defines the visualization. According to an aspect, modular updating of hierarchy data enables updating a visualization in pieces (i.e., modularly), such that portions of the visualization that are not affected by the change to the data are not updated and do not need to be recalculated for rendering.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Inventor: Michael Woolf
