1. A method of displaying data, including the steps of:
- enabling a user to select a first data set;
displaying the first data set within a region of a graph on a display, the graph including a first y-axis disposed at a first position of the graph and associated with the first data set, the first y-axis comprising a plurality of coordinates indicating a first unit of measure;
enabling the user to select a second data set;
displaying the second data set within the region of the graph on the display, the graph including a second y-axis associated with the second data set, the second y-axis disposed at a second position of the graph and comprising a plurality of coordinates indicating a second unit of measure distinct from the first unit of measure, the second position being distinct from the first position, the step of displaying the second data set performed concurrently with the step of displaying the first data set;
enabling the user to select one of the first data set and the second data set as a prominent data set; and
responding to the user selection of the prominent data set by de-emphasizing the other of the first data set and the second data set not selected as the prominent data set, the first data set and the second data set remaining concurrently displayed within the region of the graph during the step of responding,wherein the region of the graph including the first y-axis overlaps with the region of the graph including the second y-axis.

1. A method of displaying data, including the steps of:
-
enabling a user to select a first data set; displaying the first data set within a region of a graph on a display, the graph including a first y-axis disposed at a first position of the graph and associated with the first data set, the first y-axis comprising a plurality of coordinates indicating a first unit of measure; enabling the user to select a second data set; displaying the second data set within the region of the graph on the display, the graph including a second y-axis associated with the second data set, the second y-axis disposed at a second position of the graph and comprising a plurality of coordinates indicating a second unit of measure distinct from the first unit of measure, the second position being distinct from the first position, the step of displaying the second data set performed concurrently with the step of displaying the first data set; enabling the user to select one of the first data set and the second data set as a prominent data set; and responding to the user selection of the prominent data set by de-emphasizing the other of the first data set and the second data set not selected as the prominent data set, the first data set and the second data set remaining concurrently displayed within the region of the graph during the step of responding, wherein the region of the graph including the first y-axis overlaps with the region of the graph including the second y-axis. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A system for displaying data, including:
-
a data input component configured to permit user selection of a first data set and a second data set; a processor in communication with the data input component, the processor being configured to execute software instructions relating to the display of the first and second data sets; and a display which, under control of the processor, generates a screen including a graph area that concurrently displays the selected first and second data sets within the graph area, the graph area including a first y-axis disposed at a first position and associated with the first data set, the first y-axis comprising a first plurality of coordinates representing a first unit of measure, the graph area also including a second y-axis disposed at a second position and associated with the second data set, the second y-axis comprising a second plurality of coordinates representing a second unit of measure distinct from the first unit of measure, the graph area including the first y-axis overlapping with the graph area including the second y-axis and the second position being distinct from the first position, wherein the screen further includes a data settings area having options selectable using the data input component corresponding to the selected first and second data sets, the processor responding to selection of a first option by causing the display to change the prominence of one of the first and second data sets relative to the other of the first and second data sets while concurrently displaying the first and second data sets within the graph area. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20)

14. A method of displaying data performed by the execution of a plurality of encoded instructions on a machine readable program by a computing device, the method including the steps of
enabling a user to select at least two data sets; -
concurrently displaying the data sets graphically within a graph area on a display, the graph area including a first y-axis associated with a first data set and disposed at a first location, and a second y-axis associated with a second data set and disposed at a second location distinct from the first location, the graph area including the first y-axis overlapping with the graph area including the second y-axis, the first y-axis comprising a plurality of coordinates representing a first unit of measure and the second y-axis comprising a plurality of coordinates representing a second unit of measure distinct from the first unit of measure; enabling the user to select one of the data sets as a prominent data set; and changing the prominence of the prominent data set relative to at least one other data set, the step of changing performed while concurrently displaying the data sets graphically on the display. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
