Embodiment Construction

[0026]The illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account different considerations. For example, the illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account that it may be desirable to have a system that allows a user to search for information using a visualization system without requiring an extensive knowledge of how the visualization system works and / or how to filter through information using the visualization system. In particular, the illustrative embodiments recognize and take into account that it may be desirable to have a system that allows a user to visually query for information within the visualization system with a desired level of ease. Thus, the illustrative embodiments provide a visual query system configured to visually query for information within a visualization system.

[0027]Referring now to the figures and, in particular, with reference to FIG. 1, an illustration of a visualization environment is depicted in the form of a block diagram in accordance with...

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for visualizing an object. Instructions identifying a hierarchy of image blocks and an action scheme are received. An image block in the hierarchy of image blocks is loaded to display an image corresponding to the image block to a user through a graphical user interface displayed on a display system. A number of image areas on the image are selectable. User input that selects an image area in the number of image areas is detected. Visualization information to be sent to a visualization system for use in visually presenting a portion of the data about the object of interest to the user through the graphical user interface is generated based on the image area selected.

Description

BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0001]1. Field[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to visualization systems and, in particular, to querying information using visualization systems. Still more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for allowing a user to visually query information about an object using a visualization system.[0003]2. Background[0004]A visualization system, as used herein, may be a system that allows a user to view an object and / or data about the object. For example, a visualization system may visually present portions and / or individual components of one or more three-dimensional models of an object within a graphical user interface. Visualization systems may be used to perform various operations with respect to the object. For example, a user may use a visualization system to visualize a particular part or assembly of parts within the object to identify information for use in performing an inspection. However, some currently available ...
