Data plot processing
First Claim
1. A method of processing a data plot comprising a plurality of data points for inclusion of additional information content, the method comprising:
- dividing, by one or more processors, a space of the data plot into subspaces, wherein each subspace contains at least one data point of the data plot;
computing, by one or more processors, an available area on a display for each subspace;
computing, by one or more processors, a compressed information representation for each subspace based on information about said at least one data point contained in said each subspace and a computed available area for said each subspace;
computing, by one or more processors, an available area of said each subspace based on a maximum size of a shape that can fit within said each subspace, wherein the shape is centered on a barycenter of said each subspace; and
displaying, by one or more processors, the data plot with the compressed information representation for said each subspace, wherein each unit of compressed information is displayed on the display adjacent to a corresponding group of data points from the data plot.

Abstract
A method, system, and/or computer program product processes a data plot comprising a plurality of data points for inclusion of additional information content. A space of the data plot is divided into subspaces, where each subspace contains at least one data point of the data plot. An available area on a display for each subspace is computed, and then a compressed information representation for each subspace is computed based on information about at least one data point contained in each subspace and a computed available area for each subspace. An available area of each subspace is computed based on a maximum size of a shape that can fit within each subspace, where the shape is centered on a barycenter of each subspace. The data plot is displayed, where each unit of compressed information is displayed adjacent to a corresponding group of data points from the data plot.
