Claim One:
1. A method of processing a data plot comprising a plurality of data points for inclusion of additional information content, the method comprising: dividing, by one or more processors, a space of the data plot into subspaces, wherein each subspace contains multiple data points of the data plot, wherein said each subspace is displayed on a display as a unique Voronoi cell, and wherein each unique Voronoi cell is bounded by a visual border; computing, by one or more processors, an available area on the display for said each subspace; computing, by one or more processors, a compressed information representation for said each subspace based on information about said multiple data points contained in said each subspace and a computed available area for said each subspace, wherein said each subspace contains a merged data point that represents the multiple data points for said each subspace and the compressed information representation, and wherein the merged data point serves as a Voronoi site for the unique Voronoi cell; inserting, by one or more processors, the compressed information representation for said each subspace into the unique Voronoi cell associated with said each subspace; removing, by one or more processors, visual borders for all Voronoi cells in the space; displaying, by one or more processors, the compressed information representation on the display based on the computed available area and without the visual borders of the Voronoi cells; computing, by one or more processors, an available area of a subspace based on a maximum size of a shape that can fit within the subspace, wherein the shape is centered on a barycentre of the subspace; and displaying, by one or more processors, the data plot with the compressed information representation for said each subspace, wherein each unit of compressed information is displayed on the display adjacent to a corresponding group of data points from the data plot.
