Abstract
A user interface for analyzing multiple dimension data, with which a great number of multiple dimension data sets can be easily and intuitively analyzed and edited. At the least, data having two dimensions are selected from among multiple dimension data. Then, the selected data are assigned to respective coordinate axes so that the coordinate axes cross each other, or intersect each other if two-dimensional data are selected. The coordinate axes are divided, using a predetermined threshold value, into a number of segments, and these segments are assembled to define composite areas for all the coordinate axes. Data are displayed in each of the composite areas in order to enable analysis and editing of multiple dimension data. As a result, in the preferred embodiment, a great number of multiple dimension data sets can be easily and intuitively analyzed and edited.
