Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments for systems and devices implementing methods of accessing databases, which may include displaying graphical representations of data such as in graphs or charts, implementing a GUI to accept selection gestures by way of input devices and allowing selection of multiple data elements on a display. The embodiments may further include mapping selection position data, determining sets of selected data, and generating database queries based on those determined sets. Queries may be transmitted to databases, to retrieve information corresponding to selected elements.

Various techniques of selection and de-selection for single data elements or multiple data elements may also be provided.
