Abstract:
1. A method for representing a plurality of data values of a hierarchical dataset as graphical elements in a configurable data visualization, comprising: displaying, by a computer system, a first data visualization and a user interface in a data visualization display page, the first data visualization is displayed based on a default configuration of hierarchical depth levels of the dataset; determining, by the computer system, a number of depth levels to display in a second data visualization based at least in part upon a number of the hierarchical depth levels of the dataset; identifying, by the computer system, which of the depth levels of the dataset to display based on user selections received through the user interface, at least one of the identified depth levels having a plurality of data values corresponding to one or more graphical elements, determining, by the computer system, an arrangement of the identified hierarchical depth levels of the dataset for the modified configuration; and rendering, by the computer system, the second data visualization based on the determined number of depth levels, the identified depth levels, and the determined arrangement of the modified configuration,
