  • Publication number: 20150046853
    Abstract: In one aspect, a computing device with a touchscreen (e.g., a tablet computer, smart phone, etc.) renders an initial interactive chart view (e.g., a Gantt chart view) having a time axis and a task axis, receives user input (e.g., a pinch gesture) associated with a zoom operation, determines whether the zoom operation is one-dimensional or multi-dimensional, and renders a zoom-adjusted interactive chart view (e.g., zooming in or out on the time axis, the task axis, or both). In another aspect, a computing device renders a chart view comprising a time axis and a task row having a task name label with a directional indicator, renders the directional indicator such that it points in the direction of a task bar, receives user input associated with a change in the current position of the task bar, and adjusts the directional indicator based on the change in the current position.
