Abstract
A system and method for graphical representation of spatial data. A disclosed video display system is capable of presenting a layout of graphics objects as part of a displayed image. The system provides in the displayed image i) a first graphical representation in a first display area of a display and ii) a diagrammatic representation in a second display area. The diagrammatic representation features superimposed graphical elements that are dependent on the first graphical representation. The video display system can provide, for example, a pie chart as the first graphical representation and a map of a geographic area as the diagrammatic representation. The pie chart graphically represents, for example, a breakdown of members by organization, wherein each slice in the pie chart corresponds to a different organization. Superimposed on the map are elements of a bar chart, which is another example of a graphical representation.
