Abstract
Functionality is described herein for directly interacting with parts of a data visualization. For instance, the functionality allows a user to directly interact with data items to filter them out from the data visualization, and later restore them to the data visualization. The functionality also allows a user to directly interact with an axis to sort the data items in the data visualization. The functionality also allows a user to directly interact with a label of the data visualization to choose a new label, and to reorganize the information represented by the data visualization in response thereto. Further, before finalizing any update to the data visualization, the functionality may provide a preview of the updated data visualization.
