Claim 18:
19. An apparatus for animating data visualizations at a dashboard, comprising:
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive a first user input signal indicating a first set of data filtering criteria for filtering a data set, wherein the first user input signal triggers generation of a first query comprising the first set of data filtering criteria;
obtain a first set of data from the data set associated with the dashboard based at least in part on the first query;
cause a first image representing a first visualization of the first set of data to be displayed on the dashboard;
receive a second user input signal indicating a second set of data filtering criteria for filtering the data set, the second set of data filtering criteria comprising a change to data filtering criteria as compared to the first set of data filtering criteria, wherein the second user input signal triggers generation of a second query comprising the second set of data filtering criteria;
obtain a second set of data from the data set associated with the dashboard based at least in part on the second query; and
use an animation sequence to transition from the first image representing the first visualization of the first set of data to a second image representing a second visualization of the second set of data, wherein the animation sequence comprises one or more intermediate frames between the first image and the second image, the animation sequence showing at least a data segment of the first visualization subdividing into a plurality of data segments of the second visualization to visually indicate how the change to the data filtering criteria redistributes data values from the first set of data to the second set of data.
