Language-based manipulation of data visualizations

Abstract:

Techniques for language-based manipulation of data visualizations are disclosed. A system presents a data visualization representing a multidimensional data set. The system receives user input including language associated with a particular interaction with the data visualization. The particular interaction is configured to manipulate presentation of one or more subsets of the multidimensional data set. The user input does not identify any particular subset of the multidimensional data set. The system determines that the interaction is applicable to two or more candidate subsets of the multidimensional data set and presents, as candidates for the particular interaction, the two or more candidate subsets. The system receives user input selecting a particular subset from candidates. Based on the user inputs, the system generates a complete command corresponding to the particular interaction. Based on the complete command, the system performs the particular interaction to manipulate, in the data visualization, presentation of the particular subset.
