class 404, and in a second view 403 shows a distribution of the features with
respect to a plurality of descendant classes of the class 404 (Figure 4A).
Becker describes a visualization tool in which a display 500
simultaneously shows in a first tree-like view 515 a plurality of features that
are predictive of a class 514 of mushrooms, and in a second table-like view
590 shows a distribution of the features with respect to a plurality of
descendant classes (e.g., odor and weight) of the class (Figure 5; col. 21, ll.
21 to 49). During a drill-down operation of the selected class 514 of
mushrooms, a third display 625 is simultaneously opened with the other two
displays (col. 22, ll. 39 to 43). Becker indicates that a table with rows and
columns results from a drill-down operation (Figures 9A and 9B; col. 23, ll.
24 to 43). The height of the selected class 514 serves as a highlight of the
number of records in the class (col. 21, ll. 30 and 31). The features of the
mushrooms are clearly shown and described by words (e.g., pungent odor
and spore color).
