Abstract
Provided are devices and methods for generating and displaying a table chart in which numerical values are replaced by objects. In one example, a method includes receiving a data table including a 2D array of cells storing numerical values, generating a table chart including a 2D array of cells visually depicting a relationship between the numerical values in the data table wherein the table chart represents the numerical values as objects in the table chart, and a size of an object varies based on a numerical value from the data table that is represented by the respective object in comparison to remaining numerical values from the data table that are represented by remaining objects, and displaying the table chart via a user interface. The generated table chart provides a quicker understanding of a relationship between values in a data table.
