Abstract: The compilation a transformation chain of a recalculation user interface that displays an electronic canvas that contains one or more displayed result of a transformation chain. The transformation chain includes transforms between a respective data source and data sink. User editing of the recalculation user interface could cause one or more of the transforms to be re-executed, thereby causing recalculation. The compilation involves analyzing the transformation chain of the recalculation user interface for dependencies to create a dependency graph of dependencies between entities. For instance, some dependencies might be between entities so as to indicate that if one entity is evaluated, then the other should be also. The dependency graph is then used to create a lower level of execution steps. The dependency graph is further provided to a runtime for the program, so that the dependency graph may be available during operation of the recalculation user interface.

Abstract: The incremental compiling of a recalculation user interface. As an example, the recalculation user interface may be a spreadsheet program although the principles may apply to an visualization of data sinks that are interconnected to data sources via a transformation chain. The transformation chain includes multiple declarative transformations. A dependency graph is generated through analysis of the declarative transformations of the transformation chain. As the user interacts with the recalculation user interface, the user may cause one or more changes to the transformation chain. The dependencies associated with the transformations may be identified and may be largely isolated. The compiler may then compile that one or more affected dependencies, without compiling the entire recalculation user interface.

Abstract: The facilitated selection of an event that would trigger a control to perform a behavior. The control has multiple events that that may be used to trigger a behavior. It could perhaps be difficult for a user, especially a non-programmer, to select the appropriate event that triggers any given behavior. The system helps by automatically identifying a set of one or more events that are consistent with an intent for the control to perform a behavior of interest, in response to the user specifying the behavior. The automatically identified event might also depend on data of interest that the user identifies as to be operated upon by the control in performing the behavior. The system might propose one or more of the automatically identified events, and might even automatically configure the control to perform the behavior in response to a selected event.

Abstract: Aspects described relate to analyzing data at a high level of abstraction. “Smarts,” incorporating one or more analytic patterns, may be applied to data sources. These Smarts may be in the form of at least one of an equation, rule, constraint or expression to generate a result from applying the analytic pattern to the data. Smarts may be pre-defined and selected from a library based on user preference and the data input. Any suitable user interface may be used to apply analytic pattern(s) to items of data as well as provide a visual environment for a user to make intuitive adjustments to the data, add controls in the user interface to filter or constrain the data, or combinations thereof, resulting in one or more modified results.

Abstract: A pattern of visual interactivity may be automatically proposed for processing a data set that exhibits dimensions of variability. A visual display component may be analyzed to assess whether it is capable of receiving user input representing changes that correspond to types of changes of the identified dimensions of the data set. A suitable visual display component may be provided as a suggestion on a user interface for potentially using the visual display component to allow a user to interact with the data. In some embodiments, a visual display component includes a number of visual objects and/or visually interactive components for use within a graphical user interface. A visual display component may include one or more analytic patterns having at least one of an equation, rule, constraint, expression or combination thereof that represents the analytic pattern. Alternatively, a visual display component may involve a visual display representation of data through visual characteristics of a graphical object.

Abstract: Aspects discussed relate to creating a presentation of data through an arbitrary graphical object that has the capacity to visually represent data. Based on parameters of the visual characteristics and/or the data set, dimensions of data may be bound to appropriate visual characteristics of the graphical object to render a data visual of the dimensions of data through the graphical object. Visual characteristics and/or dimensions of data may additionally be subject to applied filters and/or constraints. When filters and/or constraints are applied resulting in any modification of the graphical object and/or dimensions of data, a subsequent data visual may be rendered. For some cases, a user interface may enable renderings of data visuals to occur dynamically upon modification of visual characteristics and/or dimensions of data.

Abstract: Advertisements for products in media content is described. In embodiment(s), products that are included in video media content can be determined. A request for the video media content can be received, such as to purchase the video media content and/or as an on-demand request from a television client device. Advertisements can then be displayed for the products that are included in the video media content, and a product can be selected for purchase from an advertisement.
