Abstract
Abstract Systems and methods for linking a graphical display and an n-dimensional data structure in a graphical user interface are provided. One is a method for linking a graphical display and an n-dimensional data structure in a graphical user interface supported by a computer application. Briefly described, one such method comprises the steps of: providing a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising a first portion for providing a graphical display comprising one or more image objects and a second portion for providing an n-dimensional data structure associated with the graphical display; receiving a user selection of one of the image objects in the first portion of the graphical user interface; and populating the n-dimensional data structure based on the selection of the image object.
