Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for simultaneously displaying at least one further data visualization window with a predetermined area size and a specified aspect ratio to at least one first existing data visualization window on the display surface of a monitor of a data processing system operated with window applications, in which the individual data visualization windows overlap-free be positioned on the display surface.
  • Such a method is generally known and is carried out in the "Word" program from the Microsoft company upon a command "arrange window". With this command 0 all windows on the available display area of a monitor are divided evenly and symmetrically. The sizes of the individual data visualization windows are brought to a uniform size.
  • this procedure does not correspond to the wishes of the respective user, because the user often wants to leave the size of the data visualization window in certain aspect ratios in accordance with his data visualization and thereby make the best possible use of the available display area 0.
  • the user relies on the use of the mouse, and the individual edges in a complex procedure the data visualization window has to move with several post-corrections.
  • the invention is based on the object of further developing known methods such that at a command at least one further data visualization window can be optimally positioned on the display surface of a monitor in addition to at least one existing data visualization window.
  • free areas of the rectangle are determined on the display surface by the at least first data visualization window and are stored with their identification data in a list; these free rectangle areas are sorted by evaluating their identification data with an optimization variable to create a derived list, an optimization variable being used which is calculated as a function of the area size of the free rectangle areas and the aspect ratio of the free rectangle areas to the aspect ratio of the at least one additional data visualization window; the additional data visualization window is placed in the rectangular area that is listed in the derived list.
  • a major advantage of the method according to the invention is that at least one further data visualization window automatically takes into account a command with the designation "optimize window", taking into account its dimensions on the display surface of a monitor, in addition to at least one already existing data visualization window in an optimally suitable free rectangle can be placed. This remains at least one more
  • the size of the additional data visualization window is adapted to the rectangular area in which it is placed.
  • the original distance of the additional data visualization window from the rectangular areas is also taken into account when calculating the optimization variable.
  • the list is checked to determine whether at least one rectangular area contained therein has a minimum size.
  • the free rectangular areas An are sorted using an optimization size Q in the list L1 to obtain a derived list L2.
  • the optimization variable Q is dependent on the area size and the quotient of the aspect ratio of the respective free rectangular area to the aspect ratio of the additional data visualization window; Furthermore, the proximity of the respective rectangular area An to the current position of the further data visualization window to be positioned is determined when calculating the optimization variable Q.
  • the free, unused rectangular area with the highest optimization size is in the first position in the derived list L2.
  • the further data visualization window is already in the position of the rectangular area with the greatest quality Q det. If this is not the case, the further data visualization window is positioned at the position of the rectangular area with the highest quality and its size is adapted to this rectangular area. Otherwise, the window is placed at the position of the area with the second best quality.

Abstract

Procédé de représentation simultanée et non chevauchante d'au moins une autre fenêtre de visualisation de données, en plus de la première fenêtre de visualisation de données déjà présente, sur la surface d'affichage d'un moniteur. Pour pouvoir placer de manière simple, auprès d'une première fenêtre de visualisation de données, l'autre fenêtre de visualisation de données sur la surface d'affichage d'un moniteur, le rapport longueur-largeur et la taille de ladite autre fenêtre étant conservé, la première fenêtre de visualisation de données détermine des zones libres à angles droits (An) sur la surface d'affichage et les inscrit dans une liste (L1) avec leurs données caractéristiques, puis elle classe lesdites zones par évaluation des données caractéristiques avec une grandeur d'optimisation (Q), ce qui produit une liste dérivée. Dans la détermination de la valeur d'optimisation, l'aire de surface des zones libres à angles droits (An) et leur rapport longueur-largeur ainsi que le rapport longueur-largeur de la première fenêtre de visualisation de données sont pris en considération. L'autre fenêtre de visualisation de données est placée dans la zone à angles droits (An) qui possède une position prioritaire dans la liste dérivée.
