rendering at least the portion of the data visualization in a graphical user interface of the second analytical application, wherein the graphical user interface of the second analytical application provides, based on the supporting visualization type and the mapped one or more data attributes, interactive capabilities to manipulate at least the portion of the data visualization.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the request comprises receiving a paste visualization command in the second analytical application.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the copying of at least the portion of the data visualization is performed prior to receiving the request to render at least the portion of the data visualization.

12. The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the copying of at least the portion of the data visualization further includes copying the metadata in the pre-defined metadata format to a clipboard.

13. The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein rendering at least the portion of the data visualization comprises providing an option for rendering data hierarchy associated with the data visualization.

14. The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein when the supporting visualization type is not present in the second analytical application, an option is provided to select a data visualization family type.

15. A computing system to render data visualizations in different analytical applications, comprising:

at least one processor; and

one or more memory devices communicative with the at least one processor, wherein the one or more memory devices store instructions to:

copy, from a first analytical program, at least a portion of a data visualization that is generated by the first analytical application based on data in a first data source associated with the first analytical application, wherein the copying includes converting metadata corresponding to at least the portion of the data visualization from a first metadata format associated with the first analytical application to a pre-defined metadata format;

after converting the metadata from the first metadata format to the pre-defined metadata format, receive a request to render at least the portion of a data visualization in a second analytical application and, based on the request, determine a second metadata format associated with the second analytical application, wherein the second metadata format is undetermined when the portion of the data visualization is copied and the metadata is converted to the pre-defined format, and wherein the pre-defined metadata format is different than the first metadata format and the second metadata format;
