Abstract:
1. A method for displaying sequential information, the method comprising: plotting a plurality of tokens of the sequential information on a first axis and a second axis, wherein the plurality of tokens of the sequential information represent a path, the first axis represents a spatial relationship between the tokens, and the second axis represents a combination of a spatial relationship between the tokens and a relative temporal order of the tokens within the sequence; displaying a representation of the path of the sequential information based on plotting the tokens of the sequential information on the first axis and the second axis; receiving an instruction to adjust the representation of the path of the sequential information along the second axis, the instruction indicating a change to a time basis of the relative temporal order of the tokens represented by the second axis; adjusting a ratio between the spatial relationship and relative temporal order of the tokens represented along the second axis based on the instruction; re-plotting the tokens of the sequential information on the first and second axis based on the adjusted ratio between the spatial relationship and relative temporal order of the tokens represented along the second axis; and updating the displayed representation of the path of the sequential information based on re-plotting the tokens of the sequential information on the first axis and the second axis.
