System, method and article for displaying data distributions in data trees
First Claim
1. A data display method, comprising:
- retrieving, using one or more processors, a data tree organized into a plurality of nodes, each node having a corresponding data parameter;
identifying a parent node in the plurality of nodes, wherein the parent node is associated with a plurality of child nodes in the data tree;
determining the current relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes associated with the parent node;
generating a display including the parent node and the plurality of child nodes, wherein a plurality of graphical connectors visually link the parent node to the plurality of child nodes, and wherein each graphical connector depicts non-textual graphics that show the current relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes; and
determining a new relative distribution of the data parameter, wherein each graphical connector visually changes to depict the new relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality child nodes.

Abstract
Systems, methods and articles for displaying data distributions in data trees are provided. An example method retrieves a data tree organized into a plurality of nodes that store a data parameter and identifies a parent node from among the plurality of nodes, the parent node being linked to a plurality of child nodes in the data tree. The relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes is determined and a plurality of graphical connectors that visually link the parent node to the child nodes are displayed on a computer display, each of the graphical connectors including a data distribution indicator that indicates the relative distribution of the data parameter among the child nodes.

11. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; one or more computer-readable storage mediums containing instructions operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including; retrieving a data tree organized into a plurality of nodes, each node having a corresponding data parameter; identifying a parent node in the plurality of nodes, wherein the parent node is associated with a plurality of child nodes in the data tree; determining the current relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes associated with the parent node; generating a display including the parent node and the plurality of child nodes, wherein a plurality of graphical connectors visually link the parent node to the plurality of child nodes, and wherein each graphical connector depicts non-textual graphics that show the current relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes; and determining a new relative distribution of the data parameter, wherein each graphical connector visually changes to depict the new relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality child nodes. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

12. One or more computer-readable storage mediums encoded with instructions that when executed, cause one or more computers to perform a method comprising:
-
retrieving a data tree organized into a plurality of nodes, each node having a corresponding data parameter; identifying a parent node in the plurality of nodes, wherein the parent node is associated with a plurality of child nodes in the data tree; determining the current relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes associated with the parent node; generating a display including the parent node and the plurality of child nodes, wherein a plurality of graphical connectors visually link the parent node to the plurality of child nodes, and wherein each graphical connector depicts non-textual graphics that show the current relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality of child nodes; and determining a new relative distribution of the data parameter, wherein each graphical connector visually changes to depict the new relative distribution of the data parameter among the plurality child nodes. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
