Abstract
The method receives a visual specification, which specifies a data source, visual variables, and data fields from the data source. Each visual variable is associated with data fields and each data field is a dimension or a measure. The method forms dimension tuples comprising distinct ordered combinations of data values for the dimensions D. For each measure, the method: forms a set S of the dimensions D plus dimensions from a primary key corresponding to the measure; retrieves intermediate tuples containing the fields in S and the measure, without aggregation; and aggregates the intermediate tuples according to the dimensions D. For each dimension tuple, the method forms an extended tuple by appending the aggregated data values corresponding to each measure field. The method then builds and displays a data visualization according to the extended tuples and the visual variables to which the data fields are associated.
