Visualization of Datasets
First Claim
1. A method for visualizing a dataset, the method comprising:
- identifying a first portion and at least a second portion of the dataset;
forming a summary of the second portion of the dataset; and
visualizing, on a display device, the first portion of the dataset and the summary of the second portion of the dataset;
wherein the summary is represented by one or more spatial shapes different from a spatial shape representative of the second portion before the formation of the summary; and
wherein the identification of the first portion and the second portion, the formation of the summary, and the visualization of the first portion and the summary are implemented in accordance with a processor device associated with the display device.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for visualizing a dataset are presented. For example, a method for visualizing a dataset includes identifying a first portion and at least a second portion of the dataset, forming a summary of the second portion of the dataset, and visualizing, on a display device, the first portion of the dataset and the summary of the second portion of the dataset. The summary is represented by one or more spatial shapes different from a spatial shape representative of the second portion before the formation of the summary. The identification of the first portion and the second portion, the formation of the summary, and the visualization of the first portion and the summary are implemented in accordance with a processor device associated with the display device.
