Application 07/854,921
(specification, page 10, lines 5-23; Figure 9).
Independent claims 1 and 18 are reproduced as
follows:
1. An apparatus for visually showing a relationship
among a plurality of variables on a computer display, each
variable comprising a set or vector of observations, the
apparatus comprising:
a computer, including the computer display, the computer
having a memory containing one or more of the variables and
having the capability of displaying visual representations of
the variables on the computer display;
a visual array presentation of small presentations on the
computer display, each array small presentation visually
representing the relationship among a subset of the variables;
a mutual coupling between the array small presentations, some
array small presentations having one or more dependent
variables related to an independent variable so that a change
to the independent variable will visually change all array
presentations having dependent variables in accordance with
the relationship among the independent and dependent
variables; and
one or more mutually coupled subsidiary presentations, each
presenting a subset of variables,
whereby a user changes one or more independent variables to
view the visual changes to the array presentation in order to
determine the relationship among the variables.
