First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of displaying machine data comprising the steps of:
- a. receiving machine data at a device having a display;
b. displaying an image corresponding to the machine data on the display in a three dimensional graph, the graph including a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and
c. displaying a two dimensional primary cursor image representing a substantially planar cursor shown in virtual three dimensional space disposed on the three dimensional graph on the display.

13. A method of displaying machine data comprising the steps of:
-
a. receiving machine data at a device having a display; b. displaying an image corresponding to the machine data on the display in a three dimensional graph, the graph including a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and c. displaying on the display a plurality of semi-transparent cursor images representing substantially planar cursors in virtual three dimensional space; d. and partially obscuring the data on the three dimensional graph that is behind the cursor in virtual three dimensional space as viewed by a user, whereby the data behind the planar cursors in the three dimensional graph is partially obscured and partially visible. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of displaying machine data comprising the steps of:
-
a. receiving machine data at a device having a display; b. displaying on the display an image corresponding to the machine data on the display in a three-dimensional graph, the graph including a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and c. displaying a semi-transparent object image extending along one of the axes, wherein the object image represents a defined operational zone for the displayed data in virtual three-dimensional space. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
