Abstract: A control circuit presents, via one or more displays, one or more analytical results as correspond to currently-selected values for two or more variables. That control circuit additionally forms and presents, via at least one such display, a virtual tool for each of the at least two variables, such that a user can selectively vary the variables by movement of the corresponding virtual tool. By one approach the virtual tool presents a visual indication of a present relative value of the corresponding variable (as versus an absolute or specific value for the variable). In such a case, and by one approach, the plurality of virtual tools can each present a visual indication of a present relative value of their corresponding variable using a same relative scale. If desired, the foregoing relative scale can include both positive and negative values.
