Abstract
A grid-based visualization displays icons representing data entities in grid cells corresponding with the data entities' attribute values. Grid cells organize icons according to first and second attribute values of their data entities. Dynamic grouping replaces icons with summary icons based on one or more additional attributes of their data entities. Each summary icon represents one or more icons having matching values of their additional attributes. Summary icons may include sizing and visual indicators of aggregate values of the icons they replace. Summary icons may replace icons within a single cell or multiple cells. Summary icons may be positioned based on the positions of the icons they replace. User interface controls for activating and controlling grouping may be integrated with a legend.
