SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FOCUS PLUS CONTEXT VIEWING OF DENSE, ORDERED LINE GRAPHS
First Claim
1. A system for displaying a dense graph and details of a portion of the dense graph on a display of said system, said system comprising:
- a processor coupled to memory, an input device and said display and adapted to perform operations comprising;
locally distorting a portion of the dense graph identified by interaction through said input device, said locally distorting comprising expanding the portion of the dense graph along a first dimension axis of the graph, compressing at least one adjacent portion of the dense graph adjacent the expanded portion, and maintaining a scale of all of the dense graph in a second dimension orthogonal to said first dimension; and
causing said display to display said dense graph and said expanded and compressed portions, wherein all data represented by said dense graph displayed on said display prior to said locally distorting is displayed after said locally distorting.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable storage media for displaying a dense graph and details of a portion of the dense graph on a display are provided. A processor coupled to memory, an input device and a display are provided to perform operations including: locally distorting a portion of the dense graph identified by interaction through the input device, wherein the local distortion includes expanding the portion of the dense graph along a first dimension axis of the graph, compressing at least one adjacent portion of the dense graph adjacent the expanded portion, and maintaining a scale of all of the dense graph in a second dimension orthogonal to the first dimension. The dense graph and expanded and compressed portions are displayed on the display, wherein all of the graph represented by the display signal on the display prior to performing the local distortion operation is displayed after performing the local distortion operation. In at least one embodiment, the system comprises an oscilloscope.

14. A computer-assisted method of analyzing a dense graph, said method comprising:
-
selecting a portion of the dense graph via an input device; wherein, upon receiving said selection via said input device, said computer locally distorts said portion of the dense graph, expanding the portion of the dense graph along a first dimension axis of the graph, compressing at least one adjacent portion of the dense graph adjacent the expanded portion, and maintaining a scale of all of the dense graph in a second dimension orthogonal to said first dimension; and displaying said dense graph and said expanded and compressed portions, wherein all data represented by said dense graph displayed on said display prior to said locally distorting is displayed after said locally distorting. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon one or more sequences of instructions for facilitating computer-assisted analysis of a dense graph, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform a process comprising:
-
providing an interactive user feature for user selection of a portion of the dense graph via an input device; upon receiving user selection of the portion, locally distorting said portion of the dense graph, expanding the portion of the dense graph along a first dimension axis of the graph, compressing at least one adjacent portion of the dense graph adjacent to the expanded portion, and maintaining a scale of all of the dense graph in a second dimension orthogonal to said first dimension; and generating a display signal representing said dense graph and said expanded and compressed portions, wherein all of said graph represented by said display signal prior to said locally distorting is represented by said display signal after said locally distorting. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
