Abstract
A method displays a user interface for a graphical view application. The user interface includes shelves for specifying graphical views of a dataset. A user associates first and second fields of the dataset with first and second shelves. In response, the method displays graphical views in the user interface according to the first and second fields. Each of the graphical views corresponds to a respective distinct value of the second field and each of the graphical views includes a set of graphical marks. When the first shelf defines color encoding, each graphical mark has a respective color that corresponds to a respective data value associated with the first field. When the first shelf defines size encoding, each graphical mark has a respective size that corresponds to a respective data value associated with the first field.
