Abstract
Abstract A card file graphical user interface includes at least one central processing unit (CPU) coupled through appropriate input/output (I/O) circuitry to input devices, such as a cursor control device, and a display device. The CPU is further coupled to a storage device for the storage of data and programs including a database for display through the card file graphical user interface. The database comprises a plurality of source logs wherein each source log comprises at least one point. A card file window is provided for display on the display device and provides user selectable functions and bars for control and manipulation of the display of the database. For each source log, there is a corresponding index card, and the index cards are displayed within the card file window. The index cards display graphical information in a graphical display window displaying either a single point or a sequence of points for the corresponding source log. The index cards also display textual information for the graphical information displayed.
