  • Displaying a hierarchical data structure within a graphical user interface
    Patent number: 11544283
    Abstract: A data structure is dynamically displayed within a graphical user interface with an initial setting information. User input that provides instructions to adjust the setting information is received. The received user input is parsed to identify a position portion, a motion portion, and a magnitude portion. The setting information is adjusted based on the received user input. The data structure is dynamically displayed according to the adjusted setting information.
