Claim Text:
1. A processor-implemented method for generating a chart specification, the method comprising: receiving, by a computer, a scanned or uploaded image of a chart; identifying at least one chart component within a plurality of chart components associated with the scanned or uploaded image of the chart, wherein the identification of at least one chart component is performed using a plurality of on-line image recognition techniques and comparing the identified at least one chart component to a library of predefined chart parts stored in a system associated with the computer; determining whether the at least one chart component meets a threshold score, wherein the threshold score is an automatically generated, predetermined value assigned to the at least one chart component representing a percentage match that is configured according to a plurality of user requirements and according to a plurality of rules defined in the library of predefined chart parts; identifying elements associated with the at least one chart component when the at least one chart component is determined to meet the threshold score, wherein the identified elements are not specific to a plurality of data associated with the at least one chart component and are recognized from a library of patterns stored in the system associated with the computer which include a shape, a color palette, and a length of an axis; generating a chart specification based on the identified elements; and storing the generated chart specification in a library containing a plurality of charts within the system associated with the computer.
