Embodiment Construction

[0025] overview

[0026] Various embodiments present composite visual entities representing overlapping visual entities. The combined visual entities may include a master visualization representing one of the overlapping visual entities and annotations representing the other of the overlapping visual entities. For example, a map view may include multiple overlapping geographic entities. Renders a master visualization representing one of multiple geographic entities. The master visualization can be visually annotated (eg, using symbols, letters, or other visual indicators) to indicate other geographic entities of the plurality. In some embodiments, a zoom operation may cause a visual entity to be added to or removed from the combined visual entity.

[0027] In some embodiments, overlapping visual entities are grouped into clusters that can be opened to reveal the individual visual entities that form the cluster. Visual entities may represent data entities such as geographic...

Abstract

Various embodiments present composite visual entities representing overlapping visual entities. The combined visual entities may include a master visualization representing one of the overlapping visual entities and annotations representing the other of the overlapping visual entities. For example, a map view may include multiple overlapping geographic entities. Renders a master visualization representing one of multiple geographic entities. The master visualization can be visually annotated (eg, using symbols, letters, or other visual indicators) to indicate other geographic entities of the plurality. In some embodiments, a zoom operation may cause a visual entity to be added to or removed from the combined visual entity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the representation of visual entities, and more particularly to the representation of overlapping visual entities. Background technique [0002] Data visualization can be problematic due to the large amount of data available for consumption within today's electronic environment. For example, a mapping application can access a map view that can be displayed as Figure 1 Multiple locations of the section (eg, restaurants, banks, hotels, parks, etc.). However, the large number of locations available for display can clutter a particular map view and reduce the usability of the map view. Contents of the invention [0003] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of ...
