Abstract: A method for displaying graphical data includes displaying a first graph of a first data set, receiving a first open drag command indicative of a first handle position on the first graph, positioning a first handle on the first graph based on a first close drag command and receiving a first positioning location. The method further includes receiving a second open drag command indicative of a second handle position on the first graph, positioning a second handle on the first graph based on a second close drag command, receiving a second positioning location signal based on the positioning of the second handle, determining a second data set based on the first positioning location signal and second positioning location signal, and displaying a second graph of the second data set, wherein the first graph and second graph are concurrently displayed in a graph window.

Abstract: A display portal page in a web-based environment. This display portlet presents the message communication information between the portlets that are currently running on that portal page. The displayed message communication information indicates the portlet that is the source of a transmitted message and displays one or more portlets that receive the message. The visual representations can be of various formats such as a spacial display or a tree representation. Each communicated message has a stored record identifying the transmitting portlet and any portlet that receives the message.

Abstract: A display portlet is incorporated into a portal page in a web-based environment. This display portlet presents the launch sequence of the portlets that are currently running on that portal page. The displayed launch sequence indicates the source of a launched portlet and displays any portlets that are launched by a portlet running on that portal page. The visual representations can be of various formats such as a spacial display or a tree representation. Each launched portlet has a stored record containing information about the portlet, the portlet that launched it and any portlets launched by the particular portlet.
