Systems and methods for synchronous zooming
View Patent ↗A system for displaying a plurality of plots is provided. The system includes a presentation interface configured to display the plurality of plots, a user input interface configured to create a zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots, and a processing device configured to automatically determine, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots, and display simultaneously, on the presentation interface, a zoomed-in area of the selected plot based on the created zoom window and a zoomed-in area of each of the remaining plots based on the corresponding zoom window for each of the remaining plots.
1. A system for displaying a plurality of plots, the system comprising:
a presentation interface configured to display the plurality of plots;
a user input interface configured to create a zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots, wherein the zoom window displays a visual indication of a zoom area to be zoomed in upon in the selected plot; and
a processing device configured to:
determine automatically, based at least in part on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots; and
cause a simultaneous display, on the presentation interface, of the corresponding zoom window in each of the remaining plots.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user input interface is configured to create a zoom window in response to a user clicking and dragging a cursor.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user input interface is configured to create the zoom window in response to a user selecting a point on the selected plot and selecting a zoom magnification.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is configured to determine automatically the corresponding zoom window that is located at the same relative position within each remaining plot as the created zoom window in the selected plot.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is configured to cause a display of zoomed-in areas for each of the plurality of plots based at least in part on the created zoom window.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the zoom window comprises a solid line.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding zoom windows comprise a dashed line.
8. A processing device configured to:
cause a display a plurality of plots on a presentation interface;
determine and cause the display of, based on user input, a created zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots, wherein the zoom window displays a visual indication of a zoom area to be zoomed in upon in the selected plot;
determine automatically, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots; and
cause a simultaneous display, on the presentation interface, of the corresponding zoom window in each of the remaining plots.
9. The processing device of claim 8 , wherein the created zoom window is created in response to a user clicking and dragging a cursor.
10. The processing device of claim 8 , wherein the created zoom window is created in response to a user selecting a point on the selected plot and selecting a zoom magnification.
11. The processing device of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is configured to determine automatically a corresponding zoom window that is located at the same relative position within each remaining plot as the created zoom window in the selected plot.
12. The processing device of claim 8 , wherein the processing device is configured to cause a display of zoomed-in areas for each of the plurality of plots based at least in part on the created zoom window.
13. The processing device of claim 8 , wherein the zoom window comprises a solid line.
14. The processing device of claim 8 , wherein the corresponding zoom windows comprise a dashed line.
15. A method for displaying a plurality of plots, the method comprising:
displaying a plurality of plots on a presentation interface;
determining and causing the display of, using a processing device, a created zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots, wherein the zoom window displays a visual indication of a zoom area to be zoomed in upon in the selected plot;
determining automatically, using the processing device, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots; and
displaying simultaneously, on the presentation interface, the corresponding zoom window in each of the remaining plots.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein determining a created zoom window comprises determining a created zoom window based on a user clicking and dragging a cursor.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein determining a created zoom window comprises determining a created zoom window based on a user selecting a point on the selected plot and selecting a zoom magnification.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein comprising displaying zoomed-in areas for each of the plurality of plots based at least in part on the created zoom window.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the zoom window comprises a solid line.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the corresponding zoom windows comprise a dashed line.
