Creating Charts by Demonstration

	Brad A. Myers   Jade Goldstein   Matthew A. Goldberg

"Gold" is a new interactive editor that allows a user to draw examples
of the desired picture for business graphics and the system
automatically produces a visualization.  To specify a custom
visualization in other systems, code must be written or a bewildering
array of dialog boxes and commands must be used.  In Gold, as the user
is drawing an example of the desired visualization, knowledge of
properties of the data and the typical graphics in business charts are
used to generalize the example and create a picture for the actual
data.  The goal is to make designing a complex, composite chart almost
as easy as sketching a picture on a napkin.
