Systems and methods for using analytic objects in a dynamic data visualization interface
A method displays a chart including visual marks representing a dataset. The chart is displayed according to contents of multiple shelf regions. The shelf regions determine characteristics of the chart. The method generates a visual analytic object by applying an analytic operation to the set of data represented by the visual marks, and displays the visual analytic object superimposed over the chart. The method detects user input to select the displayed visual analytic object and place an icon representing the visual analytic object onto a first shelf region. In response, the method updates the content of the first shelf region to associate it with the analytic operation corresponding to the visual analytic object and updates the chart according to the updated content of the first shelf region. This includes updating the chart based on values of the dataset represented by the visual marks relative to the analytic operation.
