APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DATA CHARTING WITH ADAPTIVE LEARNING
A computer implemented method of processing data includes creating a data table characterizing data values, receiving a data selection from within the data table, and automatically generating a data chart based on the data selection. A specified preference may be recorded. The specified preference may be applied to create a revised data chart.
1 . A computer-readable storage medium to direct a computer to function in a specified manner, comprising executable instructions to:
create a data table characterizing data values;
receive a data selection within the data table; and
automatically generate a data chart based on the data selection.
2 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , further comprising executable instructions to:
record a specified preference; and
apply the specified preference to create a revised data chart.
3 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions to receive a data selection include executable instructions to receive the selection of at least one of a single value, a row, a row vector, a column, a column vector, an array of columns and rows, and an array of column and row vectors.
4 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions to automatically generate a data chart include executable instructions to produce at least one of a vertical bar chart, a horizontal bar chart, a pie chart, a line chart, and a scatter plot.
5 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the executable instructions to record a specified preference include executable instructions to present a user interface displaying data chart alternatives
6 . A computer implemented method of processing data, comprising:
creating a data table characterizing data values;
receiving a data selection from within the data table; and
automatically generating a data chart based on the data selection.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
recording a specified preference; and
applying the specified preference to create a revised data chart.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving a data selection includes receiving at least one of a single value, a row, a row vector, a column, a column vector, an array of columns and rows, and an array of column and row vectors.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein automatically generating a data chart includes generating at least one of a vertical bar chart, a horizontal bar chart, a pie chart, a line chart, and a scatter plot.
10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein recording a specified preference includes presenting a user interface displaying data chart alternatives.
