A method for controlling a screen in a data processing system to generate displays that include portions of an underlying scene is disclosed. The method includes displaying on the screen a first displayed scene, detecting a long touch gesture, and displaying a second scene on the screen. The first displayed scene is characterized by a first magnification and a first offset relative to the underlying scene. The second displayed scene includes a different portion of the underlying scene and is characterized by a second magnification that is different from the first magnification. In one aspect of the invention, the second displayed scene is characterized by a second offset that is determined by the long touch gesture, and the second offset depends on the first displayed scene and the long touch gesture.

User interface controls that facilitate the specification/modification of data hierarchies. In one set of embodiments, a first UI control component can be provided that comprises an ordered group of drop-down menus. Each drop-down menu in the ordered group can be populated with a selectable list of attributes from a data set and can be associated with a level in a data hierarchy. By selecting values using the various drop-down menus, a user can interactively specify a data hierarchy for the data set. The data set can then be visualized according to the specified hierarchy. In further embodiments, a second UI control component can be provided in addition to the first UI control component. The second UI control component can allow a user to interactively enable or disable certain drop-down menus in the ordered group, thereby acting as a 'depth filter' for controlling the depth of the data hierarchy.

User interface controls for specifying data hierarchies

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for analyzing sequential data. Analyzing the sequential data can include grouping or clustering data that are similar in some way, e.g., similar ranges of quantities, similar categories, etc. More specifically, a method for hierarchical clustering of sequential data can comprise creating a dotplot of the sequential data. The dotplot can represent a plurality of sequences within the sequential data. A number of clusters represented by the plurality of sequences can be initialized, e.g., one cluster per sequence. A pair of sequences of the plurality of sequences having a longest sequential match can be identified, e.g., based on a line fitting technique, and merged into a single cluster. Identifying a pair of sequences of the plurality of sequences having a longest sequential match and merging the identified pair of sequences into a single cluster can be repeated until a single cluster remains.
