Abstract
At a computer system a graphical user interface is displayed that includes a schema region displaying data field icons, each data field icon representing a respective data field, and a canvas region including block cards. Each block card specifies a respective layout type that is one of: a row-based arrangement, a column-based arrangement, or an inline arrangement. Each block card is generated in response to user placement of one or more respective data field icons onto the canvas region. For each block card, a respective database query is generated and executed to retrieve tuples of data for data fields associated with the respective block card. For each retrieved tuple, a respective two-dimensional grid position, including a respective row index and a respective column index, is computed. A data visualization is generated and displayed. Each retrieved tuple is represented as a visual mark displayed at its respective computed grid position.
