Abstract
A visualization mechanism may use two sets of rules having different priorities to generate points of interest for a dataset, and display the dataset with labels for the points of interest. The first set of rules may identify and label points of interest by various mechanisms, including analysis of the dataset and comparison to other datasets. The second set of rules may de-clutter the points interest by filtering and aggregating the points of interest by various mechanisms including the priority of the rule that created the point of interest. A display generator may create the visualization of the dataset along with various labels. In some embodiments, the display generator may allow real time user interaction with the data, which may include resizing the visualization in which the filtering and aggregation may be re-applied.
