Data mapping alternatives for creating a visual representation of a set of data are presented. A set of data is identified for analysis. The identified set of data and properties associated with the identified set of data are analyzed. Based on the analysis, data mapping alternatives for the identified set of data are determined. The determined data mapping alternatives for the identified set of data are ranked. The determined data mapping alternatives are presented in an order according to the ranking of the determined data mapping alternatives.

Suggesting alternate data mappings for charts

Upon receiving an input comprising an area of a user interface, a user interface element associated with the area of the user interface may be identified and a polygon-based representation of the at least one user interface element may be created. If the input is determined to comprise a selection of the user interface element according to the polygon-based representation, an operation associated with the user interface element may be performed.
