Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for creating an output graphic using a processing device may include receiving one or more elements of a hierarchical data structure, wherein each of the one or more elements includes a value. In addition, the methods and apparatuses may include calculating a total value for the hierarchical data structure by adding the value from the one or more elements and creating relationships that associate the one more elements with the total value. The methods and apparatuses may also include generating a diagram to illustrate the total value and the relationships among the one or more elements and the total value and transmitting the diagram for presentation on a display.
