VISUAL EFFECTS FOR SCIENTIFIC WORKFLOW EDITORS
First Claim
1. A method for visualization of elements of a scientific workflow, the method comprising:
- displaying, via a user interface, the scientific workflow, the scientific workflow including a plurality of elements;
defining within the scientific workflow, based on predetermined grouping criteria, one or more collapsible groups of elements;
receiving, from a user, a request to collapse the one or more collapsible groups of elements;
collapsing the one or more collapsible groups of elements into one or more collapsed groups of elements; and
selectively readjusting a layout of the plurality of elements and the one or more collapsed groups of elements.

Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for the visualization of elements of a scientific workflow. A method for visualization of elements of a scientific workflow may include displaying the scientific workflow via a user interface. Based on predetermined grouping criteria, one or more collapsible groups of elements are defined within the scientific workflow. Upon receiving a request to collapse the collapsible groups of elements, the collapsible groups of elements are collapsed into collapsed groups of elements. After collapsing, a layout of the plurality of elements and the collapsed groups of elements is selectively readjusted. The method can further include adding further elements to the scientific workflow, removing elements from the scientific workflow, and modifying elements in the scientific workflow.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for visualization of elements of a scientific workflow, the method comprising:
-
display, via a user interface, the scientific workflow, the scientific workflow including a plurality of elements; define within the scientific workflow, based on predetermined grouping criteria, one or more collapsible groups of elements; receive, from a user, a request to collapse the one or more collapsible groups of elements; collapse the one or more collapsible groups of elements into one or more collapsed groups of elements; selectively readjust a layout of the plurality of elements and the one or more collapsed groups of elements; receive a request to add a further element to the scientific workflow; add the further element to the scientific workflow; receive a request to remove a further element from the scientific workflow; remove the further element from the scientific workflow; receive a request to modify a further element of the scientific workflow; modify the further element of the scientific workflow; selectively readjust the layout of the scientific workflow; add a space saving element to the layout of the scientific workflow; receive a request to create a visualization of an element or a group of elements of the scientific workflow, the visualization allowing the user to edit the element or the group of elements while working on the scientific workflow; and create the visualization of the element or the group of elements of the scientific workflow.
