Abstract
A computer-implemented method for editing an interactive dynamic illustration includes receiving a first input associated with a functional relationship between a first visual entity in the dynamic illustration and a second visual entity in the dynamic illustration, receiving a second input that associates a visual parameter of the first visual entity with the functional relationship, and receiving a third input that associates a visual parameter of the second visual entity with the functional relationship. The method further includes causing a graphical representation of the functional relationship to be displayed that visually links the first visual entity and the second visual entity. At least one advantage of the disclosed method is that a user can graphically define and/or modify interactive behavior of the visual elements of an interactive dynamic illustration without textually editing the software that generates the illustration.
