Abstract
A system and method for selecting and highlighting elements of a graphical representation of data. A disclosed video display system is capable of providing, as part of a displayed image, i) a collection of data points in a first display area of a display and ii) a first graphical representation in a second display area, wherein the graphical elements in the first graphical representation are dependent on the collection of data points. The video display system can provide, for example, a scatter plot as the collection of data points and a pie chart as the first graphical representation, and can superimpose a selection window on the scatter plot, in order to enable a user to specify or select a subset of the data points. The pie chart graphically represents, for example, a breakdown of members by organization, wherein each slice in the pie chart corresponds to a different organization.
