Abstract
Formulating a visual scene includes accessing shapes, each corresponding to an object that is to be visually represented. Formulating the visual scene also includes accessing a data series, which includes data points to be applied to the shapes. Formulating the visual scene also includes accessing a geometry, which includes a container, a binding definition, and an arrangement definition. The data series is visualized within the container by visually rendering each shape within the container. The binding definition defines how to apply each data point to a shape. The arrangement definition defines how to map an axis set to a coordinate system of the container, and how to lay out the shapes within dimensions of the container. Formulating the visual scene includes populating the geometry with a visual representation of the data series using the shapes, including visually rendering each shape within the container according to the binding and arrangement definitions.
