Patent ID: 7061490

Claim:
A processor implemented data processing method comprising: identifying a first plurality of areas defined by a first corresponding plurality of geometric primitives disposed within a first innermost nested level of a first recursively partitioned/nested geometric structure having at least the first plurality of geometric primitives and a first other geometric primitive disposed in a first immediately preceding outer nesting level of the first innermost nested level, with the first plurality of areas defined by the first plurality of geometric primitives nested within a first other area defined by the first other geometric primitive, the first plurality of areas corresponding to a first plurality of normalized multi-dimensional data of a first normalized multi-dimensional data space, and the first recursively partitioned/nested geometric structure corresponding to the first normalized multi-dimensional data space; determining corresponding first graphing values for said first corresponding areas within said first recursively partitioned/nested geometric structure determined for said first normalized multi-dimensional data of said first normalized multi-dimensional data space; associating corresponding first visual attributes with said first corresponding areas within said first recursively partitioned/nested geometric structure, based at least in part on corresponding ones of said determined first graphing values; and displaying said first recursively partitioned/nested geometric structure, visually differentiating said first corresponding areas based at least in part on corresponding ones of said associated first visual attributes.
