Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters associated with map information in an efficient manner. Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information to identify clusters of requested data points for display, based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.

Identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters

Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters () associated with map information () in an efficient manner. Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information () to identify clusters () of requested data points for display (), based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons (-) representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.

Techniques are described herein that are capable of instantiating and executing in-process wrapped execution engine(s) for tooling a dynamic program across a process boundary. For instance, a dynamic language execution engine may be instantiated in a wrapper object that is hosted in a host process to provide a wrapped execution engine while the host process is running. The wrapped execution engine may be configured to provide information regarding execution of a targeted application of the host process to a requesting application. The wrapped execution engine may be isolated from other execution engine(s) that are included in the host process such that the targeted application does not have access to code that defines the wrapped execution engine. The targeted application may include one or more of the other execution engines.

In-process wrapped execution engine(s) for tooling a dynamic program across a process boundary

Techniques are described herein that are capable of constructing an inter-process communication channel, for example, between a requesting component and a targeted process. The communication channel may have one or more links, such that each link is defined by a respective node pair in a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes includes the requesting component, the targeted process, and optionally one or more intermediate nodes. An attachment request is received via a user interface. The requesting component is attached to the targeted process. For instance, the links may be traversed to discover the targeted process. The communication channel is established. For instance, in each node of a subset of the plurality of nodes, node information may be retained to indicate a next consecutive node of the plurality of nodes to which messages from the requesting component to the targeted process are to be delivered.
