Abstract:
1. A graphical user interface comprising: a cluster indicator that represents a group of n objects visualized in an image space, where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 0; at least one graphical object to represent data in the image space, the at least one graphical object dynamically visually associates the group of objects represented by the cluster indicator as a function of a distance between the at least one graphical object and the cluster indicator; cluster annotation associated with the cluster indicator; wherein the at least one graphical object associated with the cluster indicator inherits at least a portion of the cluster annotation from the cluster indicator based on the association; and a scaling component that selectively scales the at least one graphical object and the cluster indicator relative to the image space wherein the image space comprising a simulated three-dimensional image space that includes a visualized surface relative to which the at least one graphical object and the cluster indicator are arranged, the scaling component performing scaling of the at least one graphical object and the cluster indicator without scaling the surface.
