Abstract
A method generates a graphical representation of a data source. The method generates and displays a graphical user interface on a computer display. The graphical user interface includes a schema information region and a data visualization region. The schema information region includes: (i) multiple field names, each field name associated with a data field, and (ii) one or more relationship names, each relationship name associated with a relation between rows of the data source. The data visualization region includes a connector shelf. The method detects user input to associate a field name or relationship name from the schema information region with the connector shelf. The method then generates and displays, in the data visualization region, a visual graphic including visual marks corresponding to rows from the data source and connectors between the visual marks according to field names and relationship names associated with the connector shelf.
