Method and apparatus for interface for graphic display of data from a Kstore
First Claim
1. A method for providing displays of data including graphs or charts from an interlocking trees datastore having datastore nodes in a graphical display system having a graphic display device, comprising the steps of:
- collecting display requirements for defining at least one value and at least one display characteristic to be displayed on said graphic display device;
querying an interlocking trees datastore in accordance with said display requirements to determine said value to be displayed wherein said querying includes traversing said nodes of said interlocking trees datastore from elemental root nodes through combinations of subcomponent nodes and end-product nodes using asCase and asResult bi-directional links to determine the paths of said interlocking trees datastore needed to define said at least one value;
determining at least one graphical display parameter in accordance with said display requirements and said value to be displayed;
and transmitting said graphical display parameter to said graphical display device for displaying of said value to be displayed by said graphic display device.

Abstract
A method for providing a display of data from an interlocking trees datastore in a graphical display system having a graphic display device is disclosed, the method including the steps of collecting display requirements for defining a value and at least one display characteristic to be displayed on the graphic display device and querying an interlocking trees datastore in accordance with the display requirements to determine the value to be displayed. At least one graphical display parameter is determined in accordance with the display requirements and the value to be displayed and the graphical display parameter are transmitted to the graphical display device for display of the value by the graphic display device.

24. An apparatus for providing displays of data of interest to a user on graphic display device, said displays including graphs or charts from said data of interest derived from an interlocking trees datastore having datastore nodes, comprising:
-
a collector for collecting display requirements, said display requirements collected for defining at least one value and at least one display characteristic to be displayed on said graphic display device; a query component for enabling a query of an interlocking trees datastore in accordance with said display requirements to determine said value to be displayed, including traversing said nodes of said interlocking trees datastore from elemental root nodes through combinations of subcomponent nodes and end-product nodes using asCase and asResult bi-directional links to determine the paths of the interlocking trees datastore needed to define said at least one value; wherein said collector component determines at least one graphical display parameter in accordance with said display requirements and said at least one value to be displayed; and a display component for enabling the display of said at least one value to be displayed by said graphic display device to provide a visual display of data for viewing by said user in accordance with said graphical display parameter. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
