Method, system, and computer program for displaying chemical data
First Claim
1. A method for graphically interfacing between a computer system and a user, wherein the computer system interactively displays objects representative of chemical compounds, wherein distances between the objects represent dissimilarity between the corresponding chemical compounds, comprising:
- (1) receiving a user selected list of chemical compounds;
(2) displaying objects representative of the user-selected chemical compounds in a window of a display screen, wherein distances between the objects represent dissimilarity between the corresponding chemical compounds;
(3) receiving user input relating to one or more of the following;
(i) deleting one or more of the objects from the window;
(ii) adding one or more additional objects to the window;
(iii) displaying chemical compound information associated with one or more of the objects;
(iv) selecting between having the computer system evaluate the dissimilarities or retrieve dissimilarity values from a source;
(v) selecting one or more dissimilarity evaluation techniques;
(vi) selecting one or more properties to be evaluated as part of a dissimilarity evaluation;
(vii) selecting a scaling factor for one or more of the properties.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for visualizing and interactively analyzing data relating to chemical compounds. A user selects a plurality of compounds to map, and also selects a method for evaluating similarity/dissimilarity between the selected compounds. A non-linear map is generated in accordance with the selected compounds and the selected method. The non-linear map has a point for each of the selected compounds, wherein a distance between any two points is representative of similarity/dissimilarity between the corresponding compounds. A portion of the non-linear map is then displayed. Users are enabled to interactively analyze compounds represented in the non-linear map.

20. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic stored therein, said computer program logic enabling a computer system to graphically interface with one or more users to interactively display information related to chemical compounds, wherein said computer program logic comprises:
-
(a) a compound selection function that enables the computer system to receive a user-selected list of chemical compounds; (b) a displaying function that enables the computer system to display objects representative of the user-selected chemical compounds in a window of a display screen, wherein distances between the objects represent dissimilarity between the corresponding chemical compounds; and (c) a user-input function that enables the computer system to receive user input relating to one or more of the following; (i) deleting one or more of the objects from the window; (ii) adding one or more additional objects to the window; and (iii) displaying chemical compound information associated with one or more of the objects; (iv) selecting between having the computer system evaluate the dissimilarities or retrieve dissimilarity values from a source; (v) selecting one or more dissimilarity evaluation techniques; (vi) selecting one or more properties to be evaluated as part of a dissimilarity evaluation; (vii) selecting a scaling factor for one or more of the properties.
