Graphics Tools for Interactive Analysis of Three-Dimensional Machine Data
First Claim
1. A method of displaying machine data comprising the steps of:
- a. receiving machine data at a device having a display; and
b. displaying an image corresponding to the machine data on the display in a three-dimensional graph, the graph including a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, andc. rotating the image about an axis of rotation in response to input to the device.

Abstract
Methods for displaying machine data are described including a method for displaying machine data as a virtual three-dimensional image showing a three-dimensional graph having three axes such that the data in the graph may be rotated about one or more of the axes to give a data analyst a better perspective of the behavior of an item being monitored. In a related embodiment, a method for displaying machine data in a virtual three-dimensional image such that the data may be rotated one or more of the axes is described which further includes one or more cursor images representing substantially planar cursors on the display for analyzing data.

15. A method of displaying machine data comprising the steps of:
-
a. receiving machine data at a device having a display; b. displaying an image corresponding to the machine data on the display in a three-dimensional graph, the graph including a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis, wherein the image may be rotated about at least one of the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis in response to input to the device; and c. displaying a plurality of semi-transparent cursor images representing substantially planar cursors on the display whereby the data behind the planar cursors in the three dimensional graph is partially obscured and partially visible. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
