More Information
Summary:Systems and methods for associating geometry with contextual information are provided. Contextual information includes metadata about the geometry used to represent data in a visualization to improve the functioning of a device providing the visualization. Improved functioning of the device providing the visualization includes providing new features, and more efficient use of device resources for executing legacy features. Annotations may be made via escapes present in the definition of the geometry to be rendered, which are operable to bind portions of the geometry to the represented data. According to aspects, binding data to geometry improves how the visualization is rendered and improves how portions of the geometry are called out for formatting or interactivity. According to aspects, escapes may be ignored, such that their presence does not affect how the geometry is rendered.
