1. A signal-bearing medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a digital processing apparatus of a computer system to perform operations for displaying and controlling an interactive graphical user interface, the operations comprising:

  • displaying a graph having two axes corresponding to first and second variables in the interactive graphical user interface, wherein a two-dimensional region between the two axes specifies values the first and second variables may assume, and wherein a combination of values that the two variables assume determines a value of a third variable;

    displaying a slider control in the two-dimensional region;

    receiving a command moving the slider control within the two-dimensional region to a new position, wherein the movement of the slider control to a new position determines a new combination of values for the first and second variables;

    calculating a new value for the third variable based on the new combination of values for the first and second variables; and

    displaying a graphical component representing the new value for the third variable in the interactive graphical user interface.
