Abstract

Claims (64)

1. A method comprising:

receiving a data set;

generating a chart including a plurality of graphic objects based on the data set and a visual property of the plurality of graphic objects;

determining a scale associated with the chart based on the data set and the plurality of graphic objects;

generating, by an axis manager, an axis dataset, the axis dataset defining properties of at least one axis for the chart based on the scale associated with the chart and the plurality of graphic objects;

generating, by an object manager, at least one axis graphic object based on the axis dataset; and

adding the at least one axis graphic object to the plurality of graphic objects of the chart.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

resizing the chart based on a user input; and

updating the at least one axis graphic object based on the resized chart.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein updating the at least one axis graphic object based on the resized chart, further comprises:

updating the scale based on the user input; and

resizing the at least one axis graphic object based on the updated scale.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating at least one axis graphic object based on the scale, further comprises:

generating a new data set based on the scale;

determining a number of axis graphic objects based on properties of the scale and properties of the chart;

generating one or more axis graphic objects equal to the number of axis graphic objects; and

binding the one or more axis graphic objects to the new data set.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the properties of the chart include a font and font size, wherein the properties of the chart determine a number of tick marks represented by the one or more axis graphic objects.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scale includes a minimum and a maximum value of the scale.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a selection of the at least one axis graphic object; and

changing an appearance of the at least one axis graphic object based on a user input.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one axis graphic object includes a same types of graphic objects as the chart.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving a data set;

generating a chart including a plurality of graphic objects based on the data set and a visual property of the plurality of graphic objects;

determining a scale associated with the chart based on the data set and the plurality of graphic objects;

generating, by an axis manager, an axis dataset, the axis dataset defining properties of at least one axis for the chart based on the scale associated with the chart and the plurality of graphic objects;

generating, by an object manager, at least one axis graphic object based on the axis dataset; and

adding the at least one axis graphic object to the plurality of graphic objects of the chart.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further include:

resizing the chart based on a user input; and

updating the at least one axis graphic object based on the resized chart.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the operation of updating the at least one axis graphic object based on the resized chart, further comprises:

updating the scale based on the user input; and

resizing the at least one axis graphic object based on the updated scale.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operation of generating at least one axis graphic object based on the scale, further comprises:

generating a new data set based on the scale;

determining a number of axis graphic objects based on properties of the scale and properties of the chart;

generating one or more axis graphic objects equal to the number of axis graphic objects; and

binding the one or more axis graphic objects to the new data set.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the properties of the chart include a font and font size, wherein the properties of the chart determine a number of tick marks represented by the one or more axis graphic objects.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the scale includes a minimum and a maximum value of the scale.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further include:

receiving a selection of the at least one axis graphic object; and

changing an appearance of the at least one axis graphic object based on a user input.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the at least one axis graphic object includes same types of graphic objects as the chart.

17. A system comprising:

a memory component; and

a processing device coupled to the memory component, the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request to add a graphic object to a digital canvas;

receiving a data set;

generating a data visualization using the data set and a visual property of the graphic object, wherein the data visualization includes the graphic object and one or more additional graphic objects;

generating, by an axis manager, an axis dataset, including at least one axis for the data visualization, wherein the least one axis is based on a scale of the data visualization;

generating, by an object manager, at least one axis graphic object based on the axis dataset; and

binding at least one axis graphic object to the data visualization.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the operations further include:

determining the axis dataset based on the data visualization.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the operation of determining the axis dataset based on the data visualization, further comprises:

determining a scale of the data visualization based on a font associated with the data visualization;

determining a number and a location of one or more tick marks based on the scale; and

generating the axis dataset using the scale and the number and the location of the one or more tick marks.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the at least one axis graphic object is one of a plurality of graphic objects generated based on the axis dataset, and wherein the plurality of graphic objects include tick marks and labels.
